Abstract

A refrigerator with a handle unit allows a user to open a door with a small force. The refrigerator includes a main body including upper and lower storage chambers, a pair of rotating first doors to open and close the upper storage chamber, a second drawer type door to open and close the lower storage chamber, a handle unit mounted on the second door to slidably move in forward and backward directions of the second door, push members moving forward and backward in a direction of the rear surface of the second door, and interlocking units provided between the handle unit and the push members, wherein the interlocking units move the push members in connection with the forward sliding movement of the handle unit to separate the second door from the main body.
