Abstract

Provided is a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a main body having a storage space; a door that is connected to the main body to selectively shield the storage space; a water supply container disposed in the storage space in a state where the door shields the storage space; an ice-maker disposed in a predetermined position of the storage space above the water supply container in a state where the door shields the storage space; a dispenser that is provided to a predetermined position of the door above the water supply container, to receive water or ice; a water supply passage extending from the water supply container to the ice-maker and the dispenser; a pump that is provided on the water supply passage to forcedly direct the water stored in the water supplying container to the ice-maker or the dispenser; and a valve that is provided on a predetermined position of the water supply passage near an outlet side of the pump to selectively supply the water to the ice-maker or the dispenser, wherein the pump is located at a height lower than the water supply container, and the valve is located at a height identical to or higher than the pump.
