Original Abstract Submitted
A refrigerator includes a cabinet having a storage space and a door configured to open and close the storage space. The door includes a panel assembly including a front panel and an insulating panel spaced apart from the front panel, a door frame that is in contact with the front panel, and a door liner which is connected to the door frame and is in contact with the insulating panel, the door liner being configured to define an insulating space, in which an insulator is disposed, together with the panel assembly and the door frame. The door liner includes a contact surface that is in contact with the insulating panel, and a recessed space is defined on the contact surface.
