Refrigerator

Abstract

A refrigerator includes a refrigerator body and a door. The refrigerator body includes a storage chamber. The door closes off the storage chamber to be capable of opening and closing. The door includes a box-shaped outer contour member, an internal part, and a heat insulation member. The internal part is a part different from a foam heat insulation member and is provided inside the outer contour member. The heat insulation member is provided inside the outer contour member or as at least a part of the outer contour member, contains an aero gel, a xerogel, or a cryogel, and overlaps the internal part when the refrigerator is seen in a front view.
