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.

Provided is a refrigerator and control method for refrigerator and method for opening a refrigerator door. While a user is holding an object in both hands, a door may be automatically and additionally opened using another part of a body other than hands.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet, a main door having an opening, a sub-door rotatably provided in front of the main door to open and close the opening and filled with a heat insulating material, a locking member protruding from the sub-door to the main door and operated to lock the main door, an operation member provided below the locking member and protruding downward from a lower portion of the sub-door to be directly operated by a user, a connection member connecting the locking member and the operation member such that the locking member operates when the operation member operates, and a connection member case provided inside the sub-door and defining a space in which the connection member is operatively accommodated. The connection member case is formed with a reinforcement part extending in an upper-and-lower direction along the connection member case to prevent deformation of the connection member.

A refrigerator, comprising a refrigerator body, a main door arranged on an outer side of the refrigerator body, and a secondary door arranged on an outer side of the main door. A first magnet is arranged in an area of the refrigerator body opposite the main door, a second magnet is arranged in an area of the secondary door opposite the main door, and an electromagnetic assembly is arranged on the main door and configured to controllably or operably generate a magnetic attraction force for attracting the first magnet or a magnetic attraction force for attracting the second magnet. The magnetic attraction effect ensures that the door body, which does not need to be opened, will be in a closed state when a user opens the refrigerator.

Provided are a refrigerator and a control method thereof. The refrigerator is characterized by enabling at least a part of a refrigerator door to be selectively transparent by a user's operation, such that the user sees through an inside of the refrigerator while the refrigerator door is closed.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a storage space therein and a door configured to open and close at least a portion of the storage space. The door includes a top recess that is recessed downward from a top surface portion of the door, a microphone module accommodated in the top recess and configured to receive a voice command from a user, a controller configured to control an operation of the refrigerator based on the voice command received at the microphone module, a door cover that covers the top recess a microphone-module mount provided at the door cover, wherein the microphone module is accommodated in the microphone-module mount, and a voice input hole defined in the microphone-module mount and configured to transmit a sound of the voice command from an outside of the door cover to an interior of the microphone-module mount.

A door cover defines an upper surface of a door of a refrigerator. The door cover includes a microphone pocket in which a microphone mount is provided and a separate speaker pocket in which a speaker mount is provided.

A door for a home appliance, a home appliance, and a method for manufacturing the same, are disclosed. The door for a home appliance comprises a panel assembly; and a frame assembly defining a predetermined space having an opening connected with an edge of the panel assembly, and making a foaming space for receiving a thermal insulator by means of the predetermined space of the frame assembly and the edge of the panel assembly, wherein a foaming injection hole through which the thermal insulator is injected is provided on at least one of ends of an upper surface, a lower surface, a left side and a right side of the frame assembly.

A refrigerator may include a storage compartment, an inner door which comprises an opening having a size corresponding to a size of the storage compartment, a plurality of door guards, and an outer door which open and close the storage compartment, wherein the inner door comprises a control unit may control an internal environment of the storage compartment.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet, a door configured to open/close the cabinet, an outer plate defining a front surface of the door and having an opening formed therein to pass through the door, a door liner defining a rear surface of the door, lighting members configured to illuminate storage spaces of the door and the cabinet, a transparent panel assembly mounted to shield the opening and allowing the storage spaces to be selectively seen according to an ON/OFF state of the lighting members, an insulator filled between the outer plate and the door liner, and a blocking part arranged inside the door along a periphery of the transparent panel assembly and detachably coupled to a peripheral surface of the transparent panel assembly to fix the transparent panel assembly.
