Background technique [0002] In general, a refrigerator is a device that preserves food and other items in a refrigerated or frozen state by circulating cold air generated by a refrigeration system. [0003] Generally, a refrigerator has a freezer compartment and a refrigerator compartment provided at upper and lower sides of the refrigerator, respectively. Recently, a refrigerator having two storage compartments arranged side by side has also appeared on the market. Such side-by-side refrigerators are often equipped with a drinking fountain which is connected to a water purifier and used to provide drinking water (consumable or water that can be used to cook food or any beverage) or ice. [0004] Such as figure 1 As shown, a refrigerator 100 in the related art includes a main frame 110 having a mechani...
