Claim:
A refrigerator, comprising: a first compartment and a second compartment defined in a refrigerator body; a first evaporator that supplies cool air to the first compartment; a second evaporator that supplies cool air to the second compartment; a machinery compartment formed in the refrigerator body to define a receiving space; first and second compressors provided in the receiving space of the machinery compartment; a fan positioned between the first and second compressors in the receiving space of the machinery compartment; and a guide device that selectively guides air blown by the fan to the first and second compressors to simultaneously cool the first and second compressors, wherein the guide device comprises: a stationary guide fixed in the machinery room and positioned around the fan, wherein the stationary guide has a substantially spherical shape having a first opening formed at a first side thereof corresponding to a discharge side of the fan and a second opening formed at a second side thereof corresponding to a suction side of the fan; and a moving guide movably coupled to the stationary guide to selectively open and close an air blowing channel defined by the stationary guide along which air is blown by the fan, wherein the moving guide comprises: a first moving guide slidably coupled to a first inner circumferential portion of the stationary guide positioned above the fan; and a second moving guide slidably coupled to a second inner circumferential portion of the stationary guide positioned below the fan.
