Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to refrigerators. Background technique [0002] In general, a refrigerator is a home appliance that can store food at a low temperature in an internal storage space covered by a door, and cools the inside of the storage space using cold air generated through heat exchange with a refrigerant circulating in a refrigeration cycle, Stored food can thus be kept in optimum condition. [0003] In addition, with changes in eating habits and diversification of user preferences, refrigerators tend to be larger and more functional, and various configurations are added to improve user convenience. [0004] For example, an ice maker capable of making ice by automatically supplying water may be provided. In addition, a dispenser capable of taking out purified cold water from the outside in a state where the door of the refrigerator is closed may also be provided. [0005] In order to supply water to the above-mentioned ice maker and ...
