A refrigerator comprising: a main body comprising a freezing compartment and a refrigerating compartment; a door configured to open and close at least a portion of the refrigerating compartment; an ice maker disposed in the freezing compartment; an ice bank disposed on the door and configured to store ice made by the ice maker; an ice transfer device configured to transfer ice made by the ice maker to the ice bank; and an ice chute that connects the ice transfer device to the ice bank and defines a transfer path for ice from the ice transfer device to the ice bank, wherein the ice transfer device comprises: a housing that receives ice separated from the ice maker; and a transfer member accommodated within the housing and configured to transfer ice from the housing into the ice chute, wherein an inlet end of the ice chute is located at a point that is spaced upward from a bottom surface of the housing; the ice chute extends, from the inlet end, upward from a horizontal plane at an angle θ, characterized in that the angle θ at which the ice chute extends is less than an angle between the horizontal plane and a tangent that passes through an outer circumferential surface of the housing at a lower end of the inlet end of the ice chute, and wherein an upper end of the inlet end of the ice chute extends into the housing by a predetermined length. a main body comprising a freezing compartment and a refrigerating compartment; a door configured to open and close at least a portion of the refrigerating compartment; an ice maker disposed in the freezing compartment; an ice bank disposed on the door and configured to store ice made by the ice maker; an ice transfer device configured to transfer ice made by the ice maker to the ice bank; and an ice chute that connects the ice transfer device to the ice bank and defines a transfer path for ice from the ice transfer device to the ice bank, wherein the ice transfer device comprises: a housing that receives ice separated from the ice maker; and a transfer member accommodated within the housing and configured to transfer ice from the housing into the ice chute, wherein an inlet end of the ice chute is located at a point that is spaced upward from a bottom surface of the housing; the ice chute extends, from the inlet end, upward from a horizontal plane at an angle θ, characterized in that the angle θ at which the ice chute extends is less than an angle between the horizontal plane and a tangent that passes through an outer circumferential surface of the housing at a lower end of the inlet end of the ice chute, and wherein an upper end of the inlet end of the ice chute extends into the housing by a predetermined length. a housing that receives ice separated from the ice maker; and a transfer member accommodated within the housing and configured to transfer ice from the housing into the ice chute, wherein an inlet end of the ice chute is located at a point that is spaced upward from a bottom surface of the housing; the ice chute extends, from the inlet end, upward from a horizontal plane at an angle θ, characterized in that the angle θ at which the ice chute extends is less than an angle between the horizontal plane and a tangent that passes through an outer circumferential surface of the housing at a lower end of the inlet end of the ice chute, and wherein an upper end of the inlet end of the ice chute extends into the housing by a predetermined length.
