To improve energy saving effect by reducing power consumption necessary for cooling, by reducing heat flowing into a storage compartment from a dew-proofing pipe.
A refrigerator includes a heat insulating housing having an opening, a frame member, and a refrigeration cycle. A storage compartment is composed of a storage compartment of a refrigerating temperature zone, and a storage compartment of a freezing temperature zone. The refrigeration cycle has a compressor, a cooler, and a first dew-proofing pipe and a second dew-proofing pipe in which a refrigerant flows. The first dew-proofing pipe is disposed in a state of surrounding the circumference of the opening through right and left side walls of the heat insulating housing, and a front end inner portion of a ceiling wall without passing through the inside of the frame member. The second dew-proofing pipe is disposed at a downstream side of the first dew-proofing pipe with respect to the refrigerant flow, surrounding the circumference of, at least an inlet/outlet of the storage compartment of the freezing temperature zone through the inside of the frame member and front end inner portions of the right and left side walls, and disposed in parallel with the first dew-proofing pipe at a front side of the first dew-proofing pipe at a part passing through a side part of the storage compartment of the freezing temperature zone, of the part passing through the front end inner portions of the right and left side walls.
