ABSTRACT:
A valve assembly of a water dispenser for a refrigerator includes a connecting part connected to a reservoir which stores water, a valve spool for opening/closing the connecting part, a biasing spring placed between the connecting part and valve spool, for exerting a biasing force to the valve spool, and an open/close part for raising the valve spool by overcoming the biasing force of the biasing spring. The horizontal motion of a slide member sliding along a base plate swings the cams, and the swing motion of the cams raises the valve spool. Once valve spool ascends, the connecting part is opened and the water within the reservoir is poured into a cup. The valve assembly is easy and convenient to use, is simple in structure, and maximizes the space efficiency of a refrigerating compartment door.
