The refrigerator as claimed in claim 10, wherein the cold air discharge opening has a damper provided thereto for opening/closing the cold air discharge opening. 12. The refrigerator as claimed in claim 1, wherein the barrier has cold air suction openings in a lower part of a refrigerating chamber side thereof in communication with the refrigerating chamber cold air passage. 13. The refrigerator as claimed in claim 1, wherein the evaporator is a one layered fin-tube type heat exchanger. 14. A refrigerator comprising: a freezing chamber; a refrigerating chamber at a side of the freezing chamber; a barrier between the freezing chamber and the refrigerating chamber, the barrier having a refrigerating chamber cold air passage formed therein; a partition plate for compartmentalizing a freezing chamber cold air passage in rear of the freezing chamber; an evaporator; a partition wall between the freezing chamber cold air passage and the refrigerating chamber cold air passage, the evaporator passing through the partition wall such that the evaporator is exposed to the freezing chamber cold air passage and the refrigerating chamber cold air passage; and fans respectively provided to the freezing chamber cold air passage and the refrigerating chamber cold air passage for forced circulation of cold air to the freezing chamber and the refrigerating chamber, respectively, wherein the evaporator includes a first part exposed to the freezing chamber cold air passage, and a second part exposed to the refrigerating chamber cold air passage, wherein the first part and the second part are separated by the partition wall for preventing the cold air flowing through respective parts from mixing with each other, and wherein the second part is located within the barrier. 15. The refrigerator as claimed in claim 14, wherein the freezing chamber cold air passage and the refrigerating chamber cold air passage are in communication with each other at one sides thereof, and a damper is provided in a part of the communication is made. 16. The refrigerator as claimed in claim 14, wherein the first part is larger than the second part. 17. The refrigerator as claimed in claim 14, wherein the partition plate includes a front plate and a rear plate, to form a cold air passage between the plates. 18. The refrigerator as claimed in claim 17, wherein the front plate has a plurality of cold air discharge openings formed therein. 19. The refrigerator as claimed in claim 17, wherein the rear plate has an opening in an upper part thereof, and the fan is provided adjacent to the opening. 20. The refrigerator as claimed in claim 17, wherein the partition plate has openings in a lower part thereof to form cold air suction openings. 21. The refrigerator as claimed in claim 17, wherein one of the fans in the freezing chamber cold air passage is an axial flow fan, and another one of the fans in the refrigerating chamber cold air passage is a cross flow fan. 22.
