REFRIGERATOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure condensation capacity even when an article is placed on a refrigerator, while protecting a fan against intrusion of water through a top plate, by making air vents in the inclining parts provided on the front and rear surfaces of a box, installing the fan closely to the inclining part and opening the air vent to the inclining part in the vicinity of the fan. SOLUTION: Outer air is sucked through an air vent 16 by means of a fan 13 and blown to a condenser 12 in order to radiate heat therefrom and then the passed air is discharged through an air vent 15. Condensation capacity can be ensured even if an article is placed on the top surface of a refrigerator because the air vent 15, 16 is provided with an inclining part and the air can be sucked and discharged. When the air vent (air intake port) 16 is opened except the vertical upper projection face of the fan 13, the fan 13 is protected against being splashed with water when an article holding water, e.g. a kettle, is left on the top surface and water intrudes through the air vent 16 into the box 14 and the fan 13 can be protected against a matter intruding through the top surface of refrigerator.
