a lower guide fixed to the main body;
an upper guide sliding in connection with the storage member;
a slider moving between the upper guide and the lower guide; and
a plurality of bearings between the guides and the slider, to support the slider.
6. The refrigerator according to claim 1, wherein the mounting bracket is in a bent shape mounted to the rail member, to space the rail member apart from the inner surface of the main body.
7. The refrigerator according to claim 1, wherein the fixing member comprises:
a fixing slot to insert and fix the mounting bracket; and
a limiting member on the fixing member to limit the mounting bracket mounted in the fixing slot.
8. The refrigerator according to claim 7, wherein the fixing slot is open at the front and the top, and is formed elongated from the front to rear of the fixing member.
9. The refrigerator according to claim 7, wherein the limiting member comprises:
a rearward limiter retaining the mounting bracket from a rear; and
an upward limiter pressing the mounting bracket from above.
10. The refrigerator according to claim 9, wherein the upward limiter is formed above the open fixing slot by cutting and bending a side of the fixing member, and the rearward limiter is formed inside the fixing slot by cutting and bending a side of the fixing member.
