CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 2005-0067001, filed on Jan. 25, 2005, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of Invention [0003] The present invention relates to a refrigerator provided with a freezing room disposed below a cooling room and, more particularly, to a refrigerator in which a user can easily receive ice through a dispenser part disposed at a front of an ice-making room in a closed state of a freezing room door disposed below a cooling room. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] In a refrigerator disclosed in Japanese First Publication No. 2003-287364, a door for opening/closing a freezing room provided in a lower side thereof is hingedly coupled, and the freezing room is provided with an ice-making device on one side of the left and right sides, and an ice storage vessel under the machine. The frozen food storage vessel is arranged on the other side of the left and right sides. These vessels are placed in a bottom surface of the freezing room and are freely drawn out forwardly along with the door. [0006] However, in this conventional refrigerator, because the ice-making device and the ice storage vessel are provided inside of the freezing room, the user can draw out the ice from the freezing room only in a state of the door being opened. [0007] Therefore, there is a need for an ice dispenser accessible outside of the door so that the user can draw out the ice formed in the ice-making room from the outside in a state wherein the door is closed without having to open it, for enhancing a user's convenience. [0008] Further, there is a need for a respective storage space which stores specific food such as meat, fish, and vegetables and is separated from the cooling room and the freezing room. And if the user can open/close the specific storage space without opening a cooling room door or a freezing room door, the user's convenience is enhanced. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0009] Accordingly, it is an aspect of the present invention to provide a refrigerator in which a user can easily receive ice through a dispenser part disposed at a front of an ice-making room in a closed state of a freezing room door disposed below a cooling room. [0010] The foregoing and/or other aspects of the present invention can be achieved by providing a refrigerator having a main body cabinet, a cooling room provided in the main body cabinet, and a freezing room provided in the main body cabinet and which is disposed at a lower side of the cooling room, comprising: an ice-making room provided above the freezing room and separated from the freezing room; a dispenser part exposed at a front of the ice-making room and for drawing out ice from the ice-making room to the outside; and a freezing room door provided below the ice-making room and which slidably opens/closes the freezing room. [0011] According to an aspect of the present invention, the ice-making room is provided with an ice-making tray for making the ice, and an ice supplying part for storing the ice supplied from the ice-making tray and transferring the ice to the dispenser part. [0012] According to an aspect of the present invention, the ice supplying part comprises an ice transfer device which inclines upwardly toward the dispenser part. [0013] According to an aspect of the present invention, the dispenser part further comprises a water dispenser for supplying drinking water. [0014] According to an aspect of the present invention, the refrigerator further comprises an ice-making room door for opening/closing the ice-making room and provided with the dispenser part. [0015] According to an aspect of the present invention, the refrigerator further comprises an auxiliary storage room separated from the ice-making room on one side and disposed between the cooling room and the freezing room. [0016] According to an aspect of the present invention, the refrigerator further comprises a cooling air supplying part provided in a rear of the auxiliary storage room and which supplies the cooling air from the cooling room to the auxiliary storage room. [0017] A refrigerator includes a main body cabinet provided with at least one main cooling room, and a main cooling room door provided in the main body cabinet and which opens/closes the main cooling room, comprising: an ice-making part separated from the main cooling room in the main body cabinet and having an ice-making room for making ice and an ice-making room door which opens/closes the ice-making room; and a dispenser part provided in the ice-making door to be exposed to an outside of the main body cabinet. [0018] According to an aspect of the present invention, the ice-making room is provided with an ice-making tray and an ice transfer device for supplying the ice from the ice-making tray to the dispenser part. [0019] According to an aspect of the present invention, the dispenser part further comprises a water dispenser for supplying drinking water. [0020] According to an aspect of the present invention, the refrigerator further comprises at least one auxiliary storage room separated from the main cooling room in the main body cabinet and having a door opening part toward a front; a storage basket slidably accommodated in the auxiliary storage room; and an auxiliary storage room door coupled to the storage basket and which opens/closes the door opening part. [0021] According to an aspect of the present invention, the main cooling room and the auxiliary storage room are divided in a vertical direction. Continue reading about Refrigerator...
