Abstract
A refrigerator is proposed. The refrigerator includes a manipulation part including a rotating shaft and a manipulation knob, an opening/closing part configured to have a curved surface and located at a position adjacent to the circumference of the rotating shaft such that the opening/closing part opens and closes a communication portion between an inlet part and an enlarged part of a flow guide, and an angle limiting part configured to limit the rotation angle of the manipulation knob, whereby the manipulation knob of a thermostat for temperature control of the freezer compartment is configured to have the operation angle of 120˜160°, thereby improving manipulation satisfaction during the manipulation of the manipulation knob by a user.
