Abstract

The refrigerator according to the present invention comprises a humidifying unit (A) in which water defrosted on the evaporator is accumulated, and at least one storage compartment (12) to which water evaporated from the unit (A) is transferred together with forced air. Said humidifying unit (A) comprises an upper cover (1) provided with holes (13) for air transfer; a water reservoir (2) disposed under the upper cover (1) and accumulating said evaporator water; a fan (4) disposed on an intermediary cover (3) between said upper cover (1) and water reservoir (2), and guiding the air coming from the refrigerator's interior to the storage compartments (12) by passing it through the water reservoir (2).
