Abstract (en)

[origin: US2021148627A1] A refrigerator includes a main body having a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment. A refrigerating compartment door is rotatably coupled to the main body to open and close at least a part of the refrigerating compartment, and includes an ice-making compartment and a dispenser. An auxiliary door opens and closes the ice-making compartment, and a cold air duct connects the ice-making compartment to the freezing compartment to cool the ice-making compartment. The ice-making compartment is formed on a front surface of the refrigerating compartment door such that access to the ice-making compartment is allowed via the auxiliary door with the refrigerating compartment door closed. The auxiliary door has an opening corresponding to the dispenser such an access to the dispenser is allowed with the auxiliary door closed.
