Abstract

Disclosed herein is a refrigerator. In a refrigeration cycle including a channel switching valve (34) to selectively supply a refrigerant to a first evaporator side (28) and/or a second evaporator (29) side and hot pipes (32,33), a hot pipe on a freezing chamber side and a hot pipe on a refrigerating chamber are disposed upstream and downstream of the channel switching valve (34), respectively to reduce unbalance in amounts of the refrigerant and in the amounts of generated heat.
