As is apparent from the above description, the refrigerator of the present invention has the following effects. According to the first aspect, the vertical plate portion of the second partition member is engaged with the first partition member at the front end. For this reason, a gap is less likely to be formed between the vertical plate portion and the first partition member, so that communication between the first storage room and the second storage room arranged in the left-right direction is prevented. According to the second aspect of the present invention, the front end of the first partition member or the front end of the vertical plate is provided with a boss that engages with the other side, and a screw is screwed into the boss. For this reason, since the connection strength between the vertical plate portion and the first partition member is increased, a gap is less likely to be formed between the two.

According to the third aspect, the front plate is screwed to the front frame above the boss. Therefore, the front frame is less likely to be displaced with respect to the front plate, so that a gap is prevented from being formed between the two. According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since the front plate is screwed to the front frame after the dew-proof pipe is housed in the front frame, the dew-proof pipe comes into close contact with the front plate by the fastening force of the screw.
For this reason, since heat is efficiently transmitted from the dew-proof pipe to the front plate, dew condensation hardly occurs on the front plate and the like.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the front plate is connected to the first plate.
Above the engaging portion between the partition member and the vertical plate portion. For this reason, it is not necessary to screw the front plate to the front frame while supporting it by hand, so that the workability of assembling the front plate to the front frame is improved. Moreover, since the front frame is less likely to be displaced with respect to the front plate, it is possible to prevent a gap from being generated between the front plate and the front frame due to a load of a door or the like. According to the measure of claim 6,
The vertical plate portion was engaged with the heat insulating material filling portion of the first partition member. For this reason, the rigidity of the engagement portion of the first partition member is increased, and the engagement portion is less likely to be displaced by the load of the door or the like, so that a gap is less likely to be formed between the vertical plate portion and the first partition member. Become.

According to the means described in claim 7, when the first door is pulled out and the second door is pulled out, a large load acts on the second partition member through the roller from the slide rail. Since the member is engaged with the first partition member, a gap is prevented from being formed between the first and second storage chambers, thereby preventing communication between the first storage chamber and the second storage chamber. According to the means of claim 8, the amount of support of the horizontal plate portion of the second partition member by the refrigerator body is reduced, and the second partition member is easily displaced by the load of the door or the like. Since the member is engaged with the first partition member, a gap is prevented from being formed between the first and second storage chambers, thereby preventing communication between the first storage chamber and the second storage chamber.
