Original Abstract Submitted
A refrigerator includes a main body having a storage compartment, and a door rotatably coupled to the main body to open or close the storage compartment. The refrigerator includes a slider provided on the main body, and is configured to movable in a front-rear direction to open or close the door, the slider including a contact part. The refrigerator includes a magnetic force part installed to to the rear surface of the door so that the door is configured to be opened or closed by the slider while the magnetic force part is magnetically attached to the contact part. At least one of the contact part and a part of the magnetic force part is configured to be rotatable so that while the attachment of the magnetic force part and the contact part is maintained.
