PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance an availability and a storing ability of a vegetable chamber which has now become frequently used due to an increase of vegetable consumption spurred by a recent health trend. SOLUTION: In a refrigerator, a refrigerating chamber 25 is disposed at an upper portion thereof, a freezer chamber 27 is disposed at a lower portion thereof and a vegetable chamber 31 is disposed at a central portion thereof. A cooling air passage for the vegetable chamber 31 is defined by connecting a vent duct 46 which is disposed on an upper surface of a lid body 39 covering a vegetable container 33 and communicated with a suction duct 44 of the refrigerating chamber 25, a circulation duct 48 formed around the vegetable container 33, a first return duct 51 which communicates with a cooler 35 from the back of the vegetable chamber and a communication duct which makes the vent duct 46 and the first return duct 51 communicate with each other. Owing to such a construction, the vegetable which are frequently used can be preserved and administrated at the central portion which is frequently used and a storing ability is also enhanced. Furthermore, the cooling ability of the vegetable chamber 31 is rationally assured while improving the temperature distribution in the vegetable container 33. |
