A refrigerator reduces a quantity of deformation of a body by improving rigidity of the body using a reinforcement structure. The refrigerator may include an electric apparatus box in which electric apparatus components for controlling an operation of the refrigerator are accommodated. Electric apparatus components may be disposed in a hinge cover which is disposed in the front of the refrigerator to improve spatial utility and a reinforcement plate formed of a steel material may be disposed in the electric apparatus box to prevent a fire from spreading. A heating pipe fixed to a front edge of an inner case of the refrigerator prevents dew condensation in an outer case of the refrigerator. The heating pipe is mounted on a fixing groove formed in a mounting portion provided on the front edge of the inner case. The heating pipe is fixed to the mounting portion using a clip.

1. A refrigerator, comprising: a body comprising an inner case in which a storage compartment is formed, and an outer case that is coupled to an outside of the inner case and constitutes an exterior of the refrigerator;a foaming space between the inner case and the outer case and filled with an insulating material;a plurality of mounting portions provided along a front edge of the inner case and provided at a portion of the inner case arranged within the foaming space;a heat pipe mounted on the mounting portions;a plurality of fixing grooves provided at the portion of the inner case arranged within the foaming space, each of the fixing grooves comprising a first fixing groove provided on a front surface of the inner case and a second fixing groove provided on a rear surface of the inner case; anda plurality of clips fixed to the fixing groove to accommodate the heating pipe therein such that the heating pipe is fixed to the mounting portion, the clip comprising a first fixing portion bent toward the first fixing groove and insertedly fixed to the first fixing groove and a second fixing portion bent toward the second fixing groove and insertedly fixed to the second fixing groove while the second fixing portion contacts the second fixing groove. 2. The refrigerator of claim 1, wherein the mounting portions are provided at an end portion of the front edge of the inner case. 3. The refrigerator of claim 2, wherein the heating pipe mounted on the mounting portions is disposed at a position spaced apart from inside of the storage compartment as the mounting portions are provided at the end portion of the front edge of the inner case. 4. The refrigerator of claim 3, wherein when the heating pipe is disposed at a position adjacent to the outer case, a temperature difference between an inside and outside of the outer case is reduced, thereby preventing dew condensation from occurring on an outer surface of the outer case. 5. A refrigerator, comprising: a body comprising an inner case in which a storage compartment is formed, and an outer case that is coupled to an outside of the inner case and constitutes an exterior of the refrigerator;a foaming space between the inner case and the outer case and filled with an insulating material;a plurality of mounting portions disposed along an outer front edge of the inner case at a position which is closer to the outer case than the storage compartment and provided at a portion of the inner case arranged within the foaming space;a heating pipe fixed to the outer front edge of the inner case at a position which is closer to the outer case than the storage compartment, using the plurality of mounting portions;a plurality of clips spaced apart from the outer case and fixed to the inner case and entirely disposed at an inner side of the outer case; anda plurality of fixing grooves provided at the portion of the inner case arranged within the foaming space,whereineach of the fixing grooves comprises a first fixing groove provided on a front surface of the inner case and a second fixing groove provided on a rear surface of the inner case, andeach of the clips comprises a first fixing portion bent toward the first fixing groove of a respective fixing groove and insertedly fixed to the first fixing groove and a second fixing portion bent toward the second fixing groove of the respective fixing groove and insertedly fixed to the second fixing groove while the second fixing portion contacts the second fixing groove. 6. The refrigerator of claim 5, wherein the clips are configured to secure the heating pipe to the outer front edge of the inner case.
