Abstract

A refrigerator is provided. The refrigerator may include a sub hinge connecting a main door to a sub door, and a main hinge connecting the main door to a main body of the refrigerator. The sub hinge is not connected to the main hinge, to prevent interference during door movement and to minimize leakage of cool air. A single latch assembly may allow both the main door and the sub door to be smoothly opened and secured, to reduce manufacturing costs and enhance reliability with respect to a simultaneous operation of the latch.
