Original Abstract Submitted

A refrigerator includes a cabinet and a door. The door includes a door body filled with an insulator and a door panel detachably mounted on the door body. The door panel includes a panel defining a front appearance of the door, and a panel bracket disposed on a rear surface of the panel and including a mounting protrusion protruding rearward. The door body includes a cap deco that defines a portion of a perimeter surface of the door body and includes a protrusion accommodating part receiving the mounting protrusion, and a deco cover that shields an opening of the cap deco and includes a restraining protrusion protruding into the cap deco. The restraining protrusion is in contact with the protrusion accommodating part when the deco cover is mounted and maintains a restrained state of the mounting protrusion and the protrusion accommodating part.
