The Figures 1 and 2 show, in particular purely schematically, an exemplary domestic appliance 10a designed as a refrigeration appliance in a schematic side view ( FIG. 1 ) and in a schematic plan view ( FIG. 2 ). In the present case, the domestic appliance 10a is designed as a built-in appliance. Thus, the domestic appliance 10a is installed at least in an assembled state in a house furniture 12a. A footprint 14a of the domestic appliance 10a is provided by a house furniture floor. Alternatively, it is conceivable that a household appliance is designed as a standalone unit.

The home appliance 10a further comprises a home appliance device. The home appliance device is provided in a known manner to cool food and other refrigerated goods. For this purpose, the domestic appliance device comprises a domestic appliance housing 16a with a cooling space (not shown) and a closing element 18a. The home appliance housing 16a has a plurality of home appliance housing elements 20a, 22a, 24a, 26a, 28a. In the present case, two domestic appliance housing elements 20a, 22a are designed as domestic appliance side walls, a domestic appliance housing element 24a as a domestic appliance rear wall, a domestic appliance housing element 26a as a household appliance top side and a domestic appliance housing element 28a as a household appliance bottom side. The closing element 18a is designed as a household appliance door. A furniture front 30a is connected to the closing element 18a, in particular screwed. The closing element 18a is intended to close the household appliance housing 16a.

Furthermore, the home appliance device comprises a plurality of home appliance hinges 32a, 34a. In the present case, the home appliance device comprises two household appliance hinges 32a, 34a. The home appliance hinges 32a, 34a are identical to each other. The household appliance hinges 32a, 34a consist at least substantially of stainless steel. A first, in particular upper, household appliance hinge 32a is arranged in an upper corner region of the household appliance housing 16a. Furthermore, a second, in particular lower, household appliance hinge 34a is arranged in a lower corner region of the household appliance housing 16a. The home appliance hinges 32a, 34a are provided to movably connect the closure member 18a and the appliance body 16a. The home appliance hinges 32a, 34a are intended to be attached to the closure member 18a. Further, the home appliance hinges 32a, 34a are provided to be attached to the home appliance housing 16a. The home appliance hinges 32a, 34a are intended to be attached to one of the home appliance housing elements 20a, 22a, 24a, 26a, 28a. In the present case, the household appliance hinges 32a, 34a are intended to be fastened to a front surface 36a of the domestic appliance housing 16a.

The household appliance hinges 32a, 34a are designed as flat hinges (cf. FIG. 3 ). Each of the home appliance hinges 32a, 34a comprises two fittings 38a, 40a. A first fitting 38a is in each case screwed to one of the household appliance housing elements 20a, 22a, 24a, 26a, 28a, in particular the front surface 36a. For this purpose, the corresponding domestic appliance housing element 20a, 22a, 24a, 26a, 28a has a plurality of threaded bores (not shown). Furthermore, each of the first fittings 38a has a plurality of holes 42a corresponding to the threaded bores of the domestic appliance housing element 20a, 22a, 24a, 26a, 28a. Accordingly, each of the home appliance hinges 32a, 34a has a contact surface 46a, 48a with at least one of the home appliance housing elements 20a, 22a, 24a, 26a, 28a. Furthermore, in each case a second fitting 40a is screwed to the closing element 18a. For this purpose, the closing element 18a has a plurality of threaded bores (not shown). Furthermore, each of the second fittings 40a has a plurality of further holes 44a corresponding to the threaded bores of the closing element 18a (cf. FIG. 3 ). Thus, the closing element 18a is pivotable about a vertical axis 50a relative to the standing surface 14a relative to the household appliance housing 16a. Further, the home appliance hinges 32a, 34a each include a home furniture fixing member 52a. in the In this case, each of the house furniture fixing members 52a is integrally formed with the first fitting 38a.

The through-holes 54a are provided to connect the home appliance hinges 32a, 34a with a house furniture element (not shown), in particular a house furniture side wall, in particular to screw.

Alternatively, it is also conceivable that a closing element, in particular a household appliance flap, is pivotable about a horizontal axis with respect to a standing surface relative to a household appliance housing. In particular, at least one household appliance hinge could be connected to another type that would appear to be appropriate to a person skilled in the art with a closing element and / or a household appliance housing wall, in particular by a form-locking and / or a material-locking connection. Alternatively, any other home appliance hinge that would appear meaningful to a person skilled in the art could also be used, such as, in particular, a cup hinge and / or a towing hinge.

Furthermore, the domestic appliance device has at least one support element 56a (cf. FIG. 4 ). In the present case, the home appliance device has exactly one support element 56a. The support element 56a is made of metal. The support member 56a is made in the present case of stainless steel. The support element 56a has a modulus of elasticity of about 200 kN / mm ² . The support element 56a is integrally formed. The support member 56a is at least substantially made in the present case of a cuboidal sheet metal part. The support member 56a is made of a single sheet metal part. The support member 56a is made by a bending process. The support element 56a has a longitudinal extent of between 7 cm and 12 cm in an unbent state. The support element 56a has a transverse extension between 3 cm and 7 cm in an unbent state. Furthermore, the support element 56a has a material thickness of 1.5 mm.

The x-axis 64a is at least substantially given by a longitudinal extension direction of the support element 56a. The y-axis 66a is at least substantially given by a material thickness of the support element 56a. Further, the z-axis 68a is at least substantially given by a transverse extension direction of the support member 56a. The x-axis 64a and the y-axis 66a define an xy-plane. The x-axis 64a and the z-axis 68a define an xz plane. Further, the y-axis 66a and the z-axis 68a define a yz-plane.

In the present case, the support element 56a at least substantially three subsections 70a, 72a, 74a. A first section 70a has an at least substantially rectangular shape.
