A refrigerator an outer case that forms an outer appearance of a cabinet in which a storage space is formed, a machine chamber provided at a lower end of a rear surface of the cabinet and independent of the storage space, the machine chamber being configured to receive a compressor and a condenser, frame assemblies provided at lower ends of both side surfaces of the outer case, and a main plate provided between the frame assemblies, the main plate forming the machine chamber, in which the frame assembly includes a reinforcement frame provided along a lower end and a rear edge of the outer case; and a reinforcement bracket coupled to the reinforcement frame and provided along circumferences of both side surfaces of the machine chamber in a left and right direction.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a refrigerated compartment and a machine compartment. A compressor is disposed within the machine compartment and is adapted to compress a refrigerant within a refrigerant line. A micro-channel condenser is positioned in communication with the compressor and adapted to selectively reject heat from the refrigerant into the machine compartment. A condenser fan is positioned within the machine compartment between the condenser and compressor. The fan is adapted to draw heated air through the condenser and also draw fresh air from an area adjacent the machine compartment and beneath the refrigerated compartment. The heated air and fresh air combine to define mixed air that is directed toward the compressor for cooling the compressor.
