Disclosed are a refrigerator and a folding guide device provided therein. The refrigerator includes a body including a storage compartment, a door that opens and closes the storage compartment, a support provided to be changeable in position to an unfolded position to be unfolded outward from the storage compartment and a folded position to be folded in the storage compartment, a folding guide device interlinked with an opening and closing operation of the door to apply a rotational force for changing the position of the support to the support. Here, the folding guide device includes a slider pressurized by the door and linearly moved, and a conversion outputter provided to connect the slider with the support and configured to convert a linear force input by the slider that linearly moves into a rotational force for changing the position of the support and output the rotational force.

The present embodiment relates to a refrigerator comprising: a cabinet forming a storage space; a door for opening and closing the storage space and provided with a receiving space; a see-through portion extending through the door and communicating with the receiving space; a door light for illuminating a rear space of the door; a transparent panel assembly for shielding the see-through portion and becoming transparent or opaque so as to selectively visualize the see-through portion according to On/Off states of the door light; and a heat insulating member, formed along a perimeter of the transparent panel assembly, for insulating a perimeter portion of the transparent panel assembly.

Provided is a refrigerator including a cabinet forming one of a refrigerator compartment and a freezer compartment, a main door opening and closing the refrigerator compartment or the freezer compartment and including a storage space opened forward, a sub door installed on the main door and opening and closing the storage space of the main door, and a dispenser disposed on the sub door and dispensing water.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a refrigerator includes: a cabinet forming a storage space; a first door rotatably coupled to a front surface of the cabinet to open or close the storage space, and having an open portion formed therein; a second door rotatably connected to the first door at a front surface of the first door; a shelf rotatably mounted in the open portion; and a connection module provided in the first door and connected to a rotary shaft of the shelf to enable the shelf to be unfolded forward when the second door is opened and to stand to be folded when the second door is closed.

A refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: a basket assembly slidably coupled to a first door in a front-to-rear direction of the first door, wherein the basket assembly comprises: a basket configured to accommodate food; a first base provided to be slidable in the front direction of the first door by passing through the opening of the first door, the basket being placed on an upper surface of the first base; a second base provided to be slidable in the rear direction of the first door, the first base being slidably coupled to an upper surface of the second base; and a third base of which a front end is fixed to a rear surface of the first door, wherein the second base is slidably coupled to an upper surface of the third base.

A household electric appliance in which a door key is operated in association with an opening/closing operation of a door and is drawn into an inside of the door in the door opening operation is provided. The household electric appliance includes a main body having a space therein, a door coupled to the main body to be rotatable about a first rotation axis to open and close, respectively, the space, and a door key coupled to one of the main body and the door, the door key rotatable about a second rotation axis, so that a rotation of the door about the first rotation axis causes the door key to rotate about the second rotation axis.

A refrigerator having a structure in which, when a first door or a second door is opened, a lamp installed at sidewalls of an opening in the first door emits light so that food stored in a door guard disposed in the opening can be illuminated. The refrigerator includes a main body having a storage compartment; a first door that is rotatably disposed in front of the main body and opens/closes the storage compartment, and has an opening formed therein, where at least one door guard is disposed in the opening; a second door that is rotatably disposed in front of the first door, opens/closes the opening, and is rotated in the same direction as the first door; and a lamp installed at the sidewalls of the opening.

A refrigerator with a home bar. The refrigerator reuses waste heat emitted from the electrical units (e.g., compressor and condenser) to heat the home bar frame, thereby preventing or reducing dew formation thereon. An air flow path is coupled to the machine room to supply air that is heated by the waste heat from the machine room to the home bar frame.

A refrigerator that includes: a cabinet; a first door; a second door; a moving basket that includes: a basket, a moving frame that is arranged to have a first distance between the moving frame and the basket, and a bridge that couples the basket to the moving frame; a rail that is coupled to the first door and that is configured to guide the moving basket; a supporting unit that is projected from the bridge toward the rail and that supports the moving basket; a lever that, based on user manipulation, to moves between a first position and a second position, wherein the moving frame is configured to accommodate at least a portion of the lever; and a stopper that is coupled to the rail based on a position of the lever and that is configured to stop the moving basket is disclosed.

A refrigerator includes: a cabinet having a storage space formed therein; a door mounted to the cabinet to open/close the storage space; a mounting projection formed at a rear surface of the door; and a door basket attachably/detachably mounted at the rear surface of the door by the mounting projection, wherein the door basket includes: a storage part formed of a transparent material to allow the inside thereof to be seen, the storage part forming a space in which foods are stored; and a frame part formed at a bottom end of the storage part, the frame part being coupled to the mounting projection to support the door basket and simultaneously shield the mounting projection at the outside.
