Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE: To provide a refrigerator capable of reducing electric power consumption accompanied by defrosting by a method wherein the defrosting of an evaporator is effected efficiently within a short period of time. CONSTITUTION: A refrigerator is constituted so that the upper cover 17 of a heater cover formed of one or a plurality of slanted planes or curved surfaces and having a skirt unit whose downstream end of the flow direction of water produced by defrosting is bent inward deeply, is provided between a defrosting heater 10 and an evaporator 1, arranged above the defrosting heater 10. In this case, the slanted plane is provided with a slanting angle of 20 deg.-60 deg. while the curved surface is provided with a radius of curvature of 10-23mm. Accordingly, loss due to the heating and evaporation of the water produced by defrosting or the like is reduced by the effect of improving the drainage property of the upper cover and the like.
