Refrigerator

A refrigerator comprising:

• a main body forming a storage compartment;
• an evaporator in the storage compartment;
• a partition configured to divide the storage compartment into a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment that is positioned below the refrigerating compartment, the partition being provided in front of the evaporator;
• and
• a cold air duct extending between the evaporator and the partition along a height direction of the storage compartment, the cold air duct being configured to supply cold air cooled from the evaporator to the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment and comprising a front body facing inside the storage compartment and a rear body formed at a rear of the front body,
• wherein the cold air duct further comprises:
• a first return hole communicating with the refrigerating compartment to return the cold air in the refrigerating compartment,
• a communication hole formed in the rear body of the cold air duct and positioned above the first return hole,
• a first return flow path having a shape extending rearward from the first return hole to guide the cold air introduced through the first return hole to the evaporator,
• a second return hole communicating with the freezing compartment to return the cold air in the freezing compartment, and
• a second return flow path having a shape extending rearward from the second return hole to guide the cold air introduced through the second return hole to the evaporator,
• wherein the first return flow path is configured to communicate with an outside of the cold air duct through the communication hole and extend upward from the first return hole to the communication hole.
