REFRIGERATOR
A refrigerator of the present invention includes a heat-insulating housing having an opening in a front surface, a partition wall ( 153 ) for dividing the heat-insulating housing into right and left parts, and a first storage room and a second storage room divided by the partition wall ( 153 ). In the refrigerator of the present invention, a temperature range of the first storage room is set higher than that of the second storage room. The partition wall ( 153 ) has a lighting unit ( 200 ) having a semiconductor light-emitting element ( 203 ) as a light source, on at least the first storage room side, and a heater ( 600 ) is disposed on the rear surface of the lighting unit ( 200 ). With this configuration, since inside of the storage room is bright, the visibility is good. Furthermore, since occurrence of dew condensation is suppressed, the reliability of lighting unit ( 200 ) is improved.
