What is claimed is: 1. A refrigerator comprising: a body with a storage chamber, and with a machinery chamber provided at an upper portion of the body such that the machinery chamber is partitioned from the storage chamber; an opening portion provided at one side of the machinery chamber; a machinery chamber door hingably coupled to the opening portion such that the machinery chamber door can be rotated up and down to open or close the machinery chamber; an insertion member fixed to the body, and a recess member provided on the machinery chamber door and made of an elastic material to be detachably engaged to the insertion member. 2. The refrigerator according to claim 1, wherein the recess member and the insertion member act as a locking device provided for preventing the machinery chamber from being opened. 3. The refrigerator according to claim 2, wherein the insertion member is provided to support the machinery chamber door rotated toward the opening portion, and the recess member is provided at the machinery chamber door such that the recess member is detachably engaged to the insertion member by pressing the machinery chamber door to the opening portion or to an opposite side of the opening portion. 4. The refrigerator according to claim 3, further comprising: a door hingably coupled at a front side of the storage chamber to the body such that the door can be rotated right and left to open or close the storage chamber; an operating panel and a control box provided on an outer surface of the door and inside of the machinery chamber, respectively; an electric wire connected between the operating panel and the control box such that the an electric wire can extend from inside of the door through an upper end of the door to the inside of the machinery chamber; and a hollow rod-shaped hinge shaft member joined to the upper end of the door while being provided such that the hinge shaft member is rotatably fitted in a hinge hole of a hinge bracket coupled to the body and the electric wire can be passed through the hinge shaft member; wherein the opening portion is situated at a front side of the machinery chamber, and the insertion member comprises an upper end of the hinge shaft member. 5. The refrigerator according to claim 4, wherein the insertion member has a circular cross-sectional shape, and the recess member has a barrel-shaped opening such that a lower end of the recess member can pass through one side of the insertion member for fitting the recess member to the insertion member via the one side of the insertion member, while having an inner surface structured such that with the recess member fitted to the insertion member, the recess member can hold the insertion member while surrounding at least half of the outer surface of the insertion member in a circumferential direction. 6. The refrigerator according to claim 5, wherein the recess member has a side opening portion situated at one side of the recess member to which the insertion member is inserted, and a lower end opening portion situated at a lower end of the recess member, the recess member being made of an elastic material, and wherein the side opening portion is widened while the insertion member is engaged to or disengaged from the recess member, and is then narrowed to an initial state after the insertion member is engaged to or disengaged from the recess member. 7. The refrigerator according to claim 5, wherein the recess member is extrusion molded, and fixed to a rear side of the machinery chamber door at a position corresponding to a position of the insertion member. 8. The refrigerator according to claim 5, wherein the recess member has an upper end closed and spaced apart from an upper end of the insertion member. 9. A refrigerator comprising: a body with a storage chamber, and with a machinery chamber having an opening portion formed at one side of the machinery chamber; a door, equipped with an electrical component chamber, for opening or closing the storage chamber; an electric wire extending from the inside of the machinery chamber to the electrical component chamber through the opening portion of the machinery chamber; and a machinery chamber door with an electric wire avoidance portion comprising a recess member for preventing interference with the electric wire and an insertion member fitted to the recess member, such that the machinery chamber door opens and closes the opening portion of the machinery chamber. 10. The refrigerator according to claim 9, wherein the door is hingably coupled to the body by a hinge part, and the electric wire is fixed by the hinge part. 11. The refrigerator according to claim 10, wherein the hinge part comprises a hollow hinge shaft member such that the electric wire passes through the hinge shaft member. 12. The refrigerator according to claim 11, further comprising: an electric wire protection member closely contacting while surrounding the electric wire avoidance portion when the machinery chamber door is closed. 13. The refrigerator according to claim 9, further comprising: a control box provided in the machinery chamber, and electrically connected to the electrical component chamber by the electric wire. 14. The refrigerator according to claim 9, further comprising: an operating panel provided in the door, and electrically connected to the electrical component chamber in order to receive an operating signal input by a user. 15. The refrigerator according to claim 9, further comprising: a front panel made of stainless steel; a rear panel coupled to the front panel; and a reinforcing member provided between the front panel and the rear panel for preventing the front panel from being deformed.
