A refrigerator comprising:
- an outer case configured to form an outer appearance of a cabinet in which a storage space is formed;
- a machine chamber provided at a lower end of a rear of the outer case, the machine chamber being configured to receive a compressor and a condenser and including a main plate, a base plate, and first and second side covers that define the machine chamber;
- and
- a first frame assembly provided at a lower end of a first side surface of the outer case and a second frame assembly provided at the lower end of a second side surface of the outer case,
- wherein each of the first and second frame assemblies includes:
- a reinforcement frame provided along a lower edge and a rear edge of the outer case;
- and
- a reinforcement bracket attached to the reinforcement frame, the reinforcement bracket being provided between the outer case and a respective side cover of the machine chamber.
A refrigerator comprising:
- a cabinet that includes an outer case that forms an outer appearance of the cabinet and an inner case that forms a storage space;
- a machine chamber provided at a lower end of a rear of the outer case;
- a first reinforcement frame attached to a first side surface of the outer case and a second reinforcement frame attached to a second side surface of the outer case, the first and second reinforcement frames being adjacent to a lower end and a rear end of the machine chamber;
- a first side cover and a second side cover spaced apart from the outer case, the first and second side covers being configured to form side surfaces of the machine chamber;
- a first reinforcement bracket attached to the first reinforcement frame and a second reinforcement bracket attached to the second reinforcement frame, the first and second reinforcement brackets being provided along an outer edge of the first and second side covers, respectively;
- and
- a main plate configured to be connected to the first and second side covers, the main plate forming an upper surface and a rear surface of the machine chamber, wherein the first and second reinforcement frames and the first and second reinforcement brackets are provided between the outer case and the first and second side covers, respectively.
