20250334319 · 2025-10-30 ·

Described is a water collector (26) for a refrigerator. The water collector has a water collector part (32) for collecting drain water from a lower cooled compartment, and a support (34) having an outlet for drain water configured to receive a drain water pipe. A common outlet is provided in the water collector for expelling water received both via the water collector part and via the support. Hereby drain water from multiple cooled compartments can be collected in a single water collector for disposal of the drain water from multiple cooled compartments. This saves components in the refrigerator and allows for a simpler assembly. The invention also extends to a refrigerator.

Refrigerator

A refrigerator includes: an inner case defining a storage room; an outer case coupled to an outer side of the inner case; an insulator between the inner case and the outer case; an evaporator disposed on a rear inner surface of the inner case; and a drain device disposed below the evaporator and configured to drain defrost water falling from the evaporator, wherein the drain device may include: an upper insulator disposed on the rear inner surface of the inner case; a drain housing disposed below the upper insulator and through with the defrost water is drained; and a middle insulator disposed on a lower portion of the upper insulator, such that the drain housing is between the upper insulator and the middle insulator, the middle insulator including a fixing portion to which the drain housing is fixed.
