ABSTRACT:
A dispenser for a refrigerator is provided which allows for more storage space inside the refrigerator, and which includes a locking mechanism which allows a drain pan of the dispenser to be removably attached. The dispenser includes a housing mounted on a front surface of a refrigerator door, a supply pipe installed at an upper portion of the housing, a drain pan detachably disposed at a lower portion of the housing, and a locking unit formed between the drain pan and the housing which removably attaches the drain pan to the dispenser housing. The locking unit prevents unwanted separation of the drain pan from the dispenser, and the dispenser's reduced size allows for more storage space in the refrigerator.
