Refrigerator

A refrigerator comprising:

• a cabinet comprising an inner case that defines a storage chamber, an outer case that covers the inner case, and an insulating material disposed between the inner case and the outer case;
• a thermoelectric element module disposed at a rear wall of the cabinet facing the storage chamber and configured to cool the storage chamber;
• a support disposed at a lower surface of the cabinet and configured to support the cabinet;
• a heat dissipation cover coupled to a rear side of the outer case;
• and
• a stopper that protrudes rearward from the heat dissipation cover and defines a space between the heat dissipation cover and a shielding film disposed rearward relative to a rear side of the refrigerator,
• wherein the thermoelectric element module comprises:
• a thermoelectric element comprising a heat absorption portion and a heat dissipation portion that face opposite directions,
• a first heat sink that is in contact with the heat absorption portion and that is configured to exchange heat with the storage chamber,
• a first fan that faces the first heat sink and that is configured to generate air flow to thereby assist heat exchange of the first heat sink,
• a second heat sink that is in contact with the heat dissipation portion and that is configured to exchange heat with an external region of the outer case,
• a second fan that is exposed to an outside of a rear surface of the heat dissipation cover, that faces the second heat sink, and that is configured to draw air from an outside of the heat dissipation cover to an inner side of the heat dissipation cover to thereby assist heat exchange of the second heat sink, and
• an insulating frame that surrounds an edge of the thermoelectric element and that is configured to block direct heat transfer between the first heat sink and the second heat sink,
• wherein the heat dissipation cover is configured to guide air from the second fan in a vertical direction, and
• wherein the support defines an air passage between the lower surface of the cabinet and a floor, the air passage being configured to allow air passing through the second fan to be discharged to a front side of the cabinet through a lower side of the cabinet.
