ABSTRACT:
A refrigerator has a door-coupling structure facilitating the connection or disconnection of a door relative to a main body. The main body forms a food storage chamber which is opened and closed by the door. The door is hingedly mounted to the body by a hinge plate. An auxiliary hinge plate is fixed to the main body, and the rear end of the hinge plate is placed on the auxiliary plate. A fixing plate is disposed on the hinge plate and detachably coupled with the auxiliary hinge plate by a snap-on connection so as to secure the hinge plate onto the auxiliary hinge plate in the absence of separate fasteners such as bolts or screws.
