Claim:
A refrigerator, comprising: a main body including at least one refrigerating chamber and at least one freezing chamber; an ice maker installed in an inside of the at least one refrigerating chamber; a container positioned in a refrigerating chamber door, wherein an outer surface of the container is exposed to the inside of the at least one refrigerating chamber, and wherein the container is positioned so as to receive ice from the ice maker; and a cold air flow passage that supplies cold air to the container to maintain ice received in the container in a frozen state, wherein the cold air flow passage extends along a ceiling of the refrigerating chamber, wherein the ice maker comprises: a tray that receives water therein to be used for making ice; and an ice-making pipe positioned so that at least a portion of the ice making pipe is submerged in water received in the tray, wherein the ice-making pipe receives low temperature refrigerant during an ice-making process, and receives high temperature refrigerant during an ice-releasing process, and wherein: one or more holes located at an end section of the cold air flow passage is the only hole or are the only holes that direct cold air into the at least one refrigerating chamber, the cold air passage is separated from being in communication with an interior of the at least one refrigerating chamber continuously from a first point to a second point, the first point corresponds to a point at which the cold air passage enters the at least one refrigerating chamber and the second point corresponds to a point where the one or more holes are located, and the cold air passage includes no air intake ports in the at least one refrigerating chamber between the first point and the second point.
