Abstract

A refrigerator including a door (14,15), a gasket (20), first and second magnets (31,32), and at least one shield member (33). The door (14,15) is attached to a body (10) which selectively opens and closes a storage chamber. The gasket (20) is arranged along an inside surface of the door (14,15) to maintain airtightness of the storage chamber. The first magnet (31) is contained in the gasket (20). The second magnet (32) is embedded inside a front (16) of the body (10) to face the first magnet (31). The shield member (33) blocks surfaces of one of the first and second magnets (31,32) not facing a remaining magnet (32,31).
