Claim 13:
14. A refrigerator comprising:
a main body having a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment;
a refrigerating compartment door rotatably coupled to the main body to open and to close at least a part of the refrigerating compartment;
an ice-making compartment formed on a front surface of the refrigerating compartment door so that the ice-making compartment is accessible while the refrigerating compartment door is closed;
an ice maker, disposed in the ice-making compartment, to make ice and including
an ice-making case,
an ice-making tray that is rotatably coupled to the ice-making case and rotatable about a rotation axis to an ice separation position and an ice generation position, and
a cold air guide coupled to the ice-making tray and extending below the ice-making tray to form a cold air flow path between a bottom surface of the ice-making tray and the cold air guide along an extension direction of the rotation axis, to guide cold air from the freezing compartment along the cold air flow path,
wherein the cold air guide is configured to contact the ice-making case so as to be deformed by the ice-making case when the ice-making tray is rotated to the ice separation position and to remain in contact with the ice-making case in a deformed state while in the ice separation position, and to be restored from the deformed state when the ice-making tray is rotated to the ice generation position.
