    Abstract: A refrigerator includes a cabinet, a thermoelectric element module, a support disposed at a lower surface of the cabinet, and a heat dissipation cover coupled to a rear side of the cabinet. The thermoelectric element module includes a thermoelectric element including a heat absorption portion and a heat dissipation portion, a first heat sink contacting the heat absorption portion, a first fan facing the first heat sink, a second heat sink contacting the heat dissipation portion, a second fan exposed to an outside of the heat dissipation cover, and an insulating member between the first heat sink and the second heat sink. 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.

    Abstract: A refrigerator includes a thermoelectric element module, and a defrosting temperature sensor, and a controller configured to control operation of the thermoelectric element module. The thermoelectric element module includes a thermoelectric element including a heat absorption portion and a heat dissipation portion, a first heat sink in contact with the heat absorption portion, a first fan facing the first heat sink, a second heat sink in contact with the heat dissipation portion, and a second fan facing the second heat sink. The controller is configured to initiate a natural defrosting operation for removing frost on the thermoelectric element module at every preset period, and terminate the natural defrosting operation based on a temperature measured by the defrosting temperature sensor corresponding to a reference temperature. The controller is configured to control operation of the thermoelectric element and rotation of the first and second fans in the natural defrosting operation.

    Abstract: A refrigerator includes a main body that includes an inner case having a storage chamber; a refrigerating chamber discharge duct that divides the storage chamber into a heat exchange chamber and a refrigerating chamber and has refrigerating chamber discharge ports for discharging cold air to the refrigerating chamber. A refrigerating chamber thermoelectric module has a first heat absorbing unit and a first heat dissipating unit, the first heat absorbing unit disposed in the heat exchange chamber. A refrigerating chamber cooling fan circulates cold air in the refrigerating chamber to the heat exchange chamber and the refrigerating chamber; and a refrigerating chamber heat dissipating fan blows external air to the first heat dissipating unit A freezing compartment is disposed in the refrigerating chamber and has a freezing chamber; a freezing compartment thermoelectric module has a second heat absorbing unit and a second heat dissipating unit, the second heating dissipating unit cooling the freezing chamber. An air guide has a channel for guiding cold air from the heat exchange chamber to the second heat dissipating unit; and a freezing compartment damper controls the cold air flowing toward the second heat dissipating unit through the channel.
