A ventilation door device for a refrigerator comprises: a frame, having an end plate provided with an opening portion, and having a blocking plate assembly rotatably mounted on the end plate, wherein the blocking plate assembly can rotate between a closed position in which the opening portion is completely closed and an open position in which the opening portion is completely open; a housing, engaging with the frame, wherein a driving chamber is formed between the housing and the frame; and a driving module, wherein the driving module is at least partially held in the driving chamber, and drives the blocking plate assembly to rotate. The frame has a housing engagement portion located on a side edge of the end plate and extending substantially perpendicular to the end plate. The housing is connected to the housing engagement portion of the frame. The blocking plate assembly comprises a blocking plate mounted on the end plate and an elastic component provided on the blocking plate. When the blocking plate assembly is in the closed position, the elastic component abuts the frame and deforms elastically to seal the opening portion. The end plate of the frame has a sealing portion arranged around the opening portion and protruding from the end plate. When the blocking plate assembly is in the closed position, the elastic component abuts the sealing portion of the frame.
