The heat dissipation cover is configured to guide air from the second fan in a vertical direction, and the support defines an air passage between the lower surface and a floor to allow air to be discharged to a front side through a lower side of the cabinet.

An under counter type refrigerator may include one or more evaporators to control a temperature in one or more storage compartments, where a machine room is lowered in height to increase a storage capacity of the storage compartment.

A refrigerator assembly, as disclosed herein, may include a cabinet, a louver panel, and a plurality of laterally-spaced vanes. The cabinet may extend along a lateral direction between a first lateral side and a second lateral side. The cabinet may define a chilled chamber and a machine compartment. The machine compartment may have an air inlet and an air outlet separate from the air inlet. The louver panel may be mounted to the cabinet in front of the machine compartment. The louver panel may define a plurality of lateral apertures spaced apart along a vertical direction. The plurality of lateral apertures may extend along the lateral direction in front of the air inlet and the air outlet from a first end to a second end. The plurality of laterally-spaced vanes may extend rearward from the louver panel at the air outlet.

A refrigerator has a cabinet, at least one door and a plurality of refrigeration components. The cabinet defines an interior volume including at least one cooling compartment. The at least one door is carried by the cabinet and provides access to the interior volume. The plurality of refrigeration components includes a compressor, a condenser and a fan. The refrigerator additionally includes a component subassembly incorporating the plurality of refrigeration components and an airflow path extending between an inlet for colder air and an outlet for warmer air. The refrigeration components are located along the airflow path. The refrigerator further includes a noise reduction arrangement for reducing an operating noise of the refrigerator. The noise reduction arrangement including a plurality of walls defining the airflow path. The walls include a noise absorbing material. The plurality of walls includes a plurality of external walls and a plurality of internal walls. The plurality of external walls defines an outer perimeter of the component subassembly and are oriented generally orthogonal to one another. The internal walls of the plurality of internal walls may be skewed relative to the external walls of the plurality of external walls. At least some of the walls of the plurality walls may be load-bearing walls.

A refrigerator includes: a main body having a storage chamber; a door for opening and closing the storage chamber; a thermoelectric module for cooling the storage chamber; an outside temperature sensor for detecting an outside temperature; a storage chamber temperature sensor for detecting the storage chamber temperature; and a control unit for applying a voltage within a range between the maximum voltage and the minimum voltage to the thermoelectric module. The control unit applies the set voltage, not the maximum voltage, to the thermoelectric module when the outside temperature is the uppermost outside temperature range among the plurality of outside temperature ranges and thus the temperature of the control is lowered and power consumption is reduced.

A refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: an inner case having a storage chamber; a thermoelectric module configured to cool the storage chamber and including a thermoelectric element and a cooling sink; a fan configured to circulate air, which has exchanged heat with the cooling sink, to the storage chamber; a fan cover configured to cover the fan and having an upper discharge hole, a lower discharge hole, and an inner suction hole formed between the upper discharge hole and the lower discharge hole; a first receiving member disposed in the storage chamber; and a second receiving member disposed over the first receiving member to be spaced apart from the first receiving member. At least a portion of each of the inner suction hole and the lower discharge hole may face a portion between the first receiving member and the second receiving member, and at least a portion of the upper discharge hole may face a portion between a top surface of the storage chamber and the second receiving member.
