A refrigerator comprising: a cabinet having a storage compartment (11, 12, 13); a door hingedly connected to the cabinet for opening and closing the storage compartment (11, 12, 13); a drawer provided in the storage compartment (11, 12, 13), wherein the drawer is positioned in an initial position in a state in which the door is in a closed position; a sensor for sensing whether the door is opened by a predetermined angle; an electric driving unit comprising a motor assembly and a moving frame configured to be movable forward and rearward by driving of the motor assembly, the electric driving unit being configured to move the drawer from the initial position to a manipulating position spaced apart forward from the initial position by a predetermined distance through forward movement of the moving frame when it is sensed that the door is being opened; wherein the electric driving unit is driven to return the moving frame to the initial position after the moving frame is moved to the manipulating position; and a rail configured to allow the drawer to move forward and rearward relative to the storage compartment (11, 12, 13); characterized by: an elastic device configured to be connected with the drawer while being elastically deformed as the drawer is withdrawn from the initial position of the drawer and configured to be disconnected from the drawer while remaining elastically deformed at the manipulating position of the drawer; wherein, when it is sensed that the door is being closed, the electric driving unit is driven to move the moving frame to a return position of the moving frame spaced apart rearward from the initial position of the moving frame by a predetermined distance, thereby moving the drawer rearward from the manipulating position of the drawer by the driving force of the electric driving unit such that the drawer is reconnected with the elastic device. a cabinet having a storage compartment (11, 12, 13); a door hingedly connected to the cabinet for opening and closing the storage compartment (11, 12, 13); a drawer provided in the storage compartment (11, 12, 13), wherein the drawer is positioned in an initial position in a state in which the door is in a closed position; a sensor for sensing whether the door is opened by a predetermined angle; an electric driving unit comprising a motor assembly and a moving frame configured to be movable forward and rearward by driving of the motor assembly, the electric driving unit being configured to move the drawer from the initial position to a manipulating position spaced apart forward from the initial position by a predetermined distance through forward movement of the moving frame when it is sensed that the door is being opened; wherein the electric driving unit is driven to return the moving frame to the initial position after the moving frame is moved to the manipulating position; and a rail configured to allow the drawer to move forward and rearward relative to the storage compartment (11, 12, 13); characterized by: an elastic device configured to be connected with the drawer while being elastically deformed as the drawer is withdrawn from the initial position of the drawer and configured to be disconnected from the drawer while remaining elastically deformed at the manipulating position of the drawer; wherein, when it is sensed that the door is being closed, the electric driving unit is driven to move the moving frame to a return position of the moving frame spaced apart rearward from the initial position of the moving frame by a predetermined distance, thereby moving the drawer rearward from the manipulating position of the drawer by the driving force of the electric driving unit such that the drawer is reconnected with the elastic device. an elastic device configured to be connected with the drawer while being elastically deformed as the drawer is withdrawn from the initial position of the drawer and configured to be disconnected from the drawer while remaining elastically deformed at the manipulating position of the drawer; wherein, when it is sensed that the door is being closed, the electric driving unit is driven to move the moving frame to a return position of the moving frame spaced apart rearward from the initial position of the moving frame by a predetermined distance, thereby moving the drawer rearward from the manipulating position of the drawer by the driving force of the electric driving unit such that the drawer is reconnected with the elastic device.
