ABSTRACT:
A refrigerator made by a blow-molding process. The refrigerator has a cabinet made by a blow molding and formed at an upper front portion thereof with a first two-stepped groove which surrounds an inlet of a freezing chamber and formed at a lower front portion thereof with a second two-stepped groove which surrounds an inlet of a refrigerating chamber, an upper door formed at a rear periphery portion thereof, which faces the refrigerating chamber, with a first recess corresponding to the first two-stepped groove, a lower door formed at a rear periphery portion thereof, which faces the freezing chamber, with a second recess corresponding to the second two-stepped groove, an upper gasket received in the first recess and having a first magnet therein, a lower gasket received in the second recess and having a second magnet therein, a first coupling member for fixing the upper door to a front surface of the cabinet when the freezing chamber is closed by the upper door, and a second coupling member for fixing the lower door to the front surface of the cabinet when the refrigerating chamber is closed by the lower door. The refrigerator is light in weight and, since the cabinet is made by a blow molding process, the manufacturing time and the assembling steps are reduced.
