Abstract: A refrigerator including a main body with a storage room inside; a door to open and close the storage room; a lever device on the door and including a case, a rotatable lever coupled to the case, and a spring inside the case; a cam on the main body and including a cam face with first and second contact surfaces with an inflection point therebetween. While the door is being rotated to close the storage room, an end of the lever is moved along the first contact surface and the lever is rotated in a first direction compressing the spring, the end of the lever then contacts the inflection point, and the end of the lever is then moved along the second contact surface and the lever is rotated in a second direction while an accumulated elastic force in the spring is transmitted to the door in the closing direction.
