Abstract

A refrigerator includes a cabinet, an evaporator, an evaporator cover module defining an evaporator cover module, a cold air supply module configured to communicate with an upper end of the evaporator cover module, the cold air supply module including a discharge port, and a blower fan. The cold air supply module includes a lower passage configured to communicate with the evaporator cover module, and an upper passage configured to communicate with the discharge port. The cold air supply module defines a communication hole at a position where the upper passage and the lower passage overlap each other, and the blower fan is located at the communication hole to cause suction of cold air from the heat-exchange space and discharge of cold air to the discharge port.
