Abstract
A refrigerator is configured to supply cool air to a refrigerating compartment, a freezing compartment, and an ice-making compartment by a single evaporator. A cool air passage for the ice-making compartment for supplying cool air to the ice-making compartment is configured to supply the cool air to an upper space in a cool air passage for the freezing compartment, which supplies cool air to the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment, through an upper supply passage. Accordingly, since additional cool air is supplied to the cool air passage for the freezing compartment by using the upper supply passage, sufficient cool air is supplied to the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment by the single evaporator.
