    Abstract: A refrigerator includes a storage space, an evaporator located inside of the storage space, a grille panel assembly that partitions the storage space to separate an evaporator space, a cryogenic freezing compartment that defines an insulation space within the storage space that maintains a temperature of the insulation space less than a temperature of the storage space, and a thermoelectric module assembly located at the grille panel and configured to supply cold air to the cryogenic freezing compartment. The thermoelectric module assembly includes a thermoelectric module having a heat absorption surface and a heat generation surface, a cold sink configured to contact the heat absorption surface and located in the cryogenic freezing compartment, a heat sink configured to contact the heat generation surface and located in the evaporator space, and an insulation frame that receives the thermoelectric module and that thermally insulates the cold sink from the heat sink.

    Abstract: Provided is a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes: a cabinet including an outer case, an inner case disposed inside the outer case and defining a storage space, and an insulating material filled between the outer case and the inner case; a door pivotably connected to a front surface of the cabinet and selectively opening/closing a storage compartment; a shelf assembly including a shelf supporting arm fixed to a real surface of the inner case and a shelf connected to the shelf supporting arm so as to be slidably movable; and a withdrawal device connected to the door and withdrawing the shelf forward in accordance with pivoting of the door for opening the storage space. Here, the withdrawal device includes: a slide member held in a space between the outer case and the inner case; a link member including a front end portion connected to the door and a rear end portion connected to the slide member; and a connection member connecting the slide member and the shelf.
