(54)	Frame of a wall-embedded refrigerator

(57) A frame of a wall-embedded refrigerator capable of providing a good appearance while simplifying its assembly process. The frame includes an outer case (404), and an integrated inner case (405) received in the outer case (404) while being spaced apart therefrom by a desired distance. The integrated inner case (405) defines freezing and refrigerating chambers (402, 403) respectively, and a front surface of a partition wall formed between the freezing and refrigerating chambers. The frame simplifies the assembly process, thereby achieving an improvement in productivity, a reduction in manufacturing costs, and a good refrigerator appearance.
