An improved structure for uniformly distributing cold air throughout a refrigerator is provided. Cold air is discharged vertically downward through a cooling air supply device positioned in an upper portion of the refrigerator to reduce temperature variation between an upper part of the refrigerator and a lower part of the refrigerator so that temperature in the refrigerator may be maintained at a uniform level. Positioning the cooling air supply device and distributing the colling air in this manner obviates the need for additional equipment positioned throughout the refrigerator to augment cooling capability, thus allowing for optimized use of space in the refrigerator.
