    Abstract: A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a storage compartment, a sliding shelf configured to discharge forward from the compartment, a folding shelf configured to, based on rotation of the folding shelf, switch positions between a first position in which the folding shelf is disposed along a plane of the sliding shelf and a second position in which the folding shelf is disposed transverse to the plane, a hinge unit configured to couple the folding shelf to a side surface of the compartment, a rotation stopper located on the side surface and configured to resist rotation of the folding shelf, and a supporter that is configured to support the folding shelf based on the folding shelf being disposed at the first position and that includes a protrusion at a bottom surface of the folding shelf, and a press portion at the hinge unit and configured to press the protrusion.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a cabinet having a storage compartment, an inner case (10) configured to define an external appearance of the storage compartment, a first door pivotably installed to the cabinet, the first door being configured to open or close one side of the storage compartment, a second door pivotably installed to the cabinet, the second door being configured to open or close a remaining side of the storage compartment, the second door having a pillar (100) configured to be rotated so as to come into contact with the first door, and a transfer member (1000) provided inside the inner case (10) so as to guide rotation of the pillar (100) by detecting rotation of the second door, and the pillar (100) is spaced apart from both a top wall of the inner case and a bottom wall of the inner case (10) so as not to come into contact with the inner case (10) in a state in which the second door seals the storage compartment.

    Abstract: A refrigerator includes a cabinet with a first storage region sealable by a gasket of a door. A first hinge, outside a sealing region, allows the door to rotate relative to the cabinet. A second hinge, inside the sealing region, allows the door to rotate relative to a container having a second storage region that can be accommodated inside the first storage region. Rotating shafts of the first and second hinges are non-collinear, and a coupling between the container and the second hinge is drawn forward when the door rotates independent of the container. A guide unit protrudes into the first storage region and is selectively coupled to a fixing device at the container. The fixing device includes a push unit pushable by the door and a holder that fixes the guide unit as a rotation axis of the container, and releases the push unit from a pushed state.

    Abstract: A control method for a refrigerator comprises driving a first cooling fan to cool a first storage chamber; adjusting a damper to cause cold air to simultaneously flow through first and second cold-air passages; adjusting a damper to reduce the opening angle of the first cold-air passage, when the temperature of a high-temperature chamber reaches a value smaller than or equal to a second reference temperature for the high-temperature chamber; adjusting a damper to reduce the opening angle of the second cold-air passage, when the temperature of a low-temperature chamber reaches a value smaller than or equal to a second reference temperature for the low-temperature chamber; and driving a second cooling fan to cool a second storage chamber. When a predetermined time elapses or the sensed temperature of the high-temperature chamber reaches a first set temperature, the damper is adjusted to increase the opening angle of the first cold-air passage.
