  • the floor pan 14 has on its side walls 15 (only one of which is shown in the broken state) also molded Receptacles 16 on which facing the installation plane of the device 10 Underside of the side walls 15 are accessible here.
  • Adjacent to the bowls 16 cylindrical attachment domes 17 are provided (only one is visible) which, like the receptacles 16 from the underside of the side walls 15 are accessible and for self-tapping insertion of screws trained fasteners 18 serve.
  • the fastener 18 is one arranged as a support element for parking one in the machine room 13 Refrigerant compressor 19 serving mounting rail 20 on the floor pan 14 by insertion the fastening means 18 in the fastening domes 17.
  • the mounting rail 20 is via a ground line 21 to the housing of the refrigerant compressor 19 electrically connected, which in turn via its not shown Power cord is grounded.
  • the mounting rail 20 has a rectangular shape in plan view Support web 22, which is used for its stiffening and thus for improvement its wearing properties along its longer rectangular sides with down projecting bends 23 is provided.
  • the support web 22 has cut-out prism-like contact elements 24, which are triangular in longitudinal section. These contact elements 24 are on the side opposite the bends 23 from the plane of the supporting web 22 angled out and with their free, to a cutting edge 25th converging prism legs 26 parallel to the shorter side of the rectangle Support rail 20 arranged.
  • This is attached to the floor pan 14 with on the lateral sections of the heat-insulating housing 11 provided by non-cutting shaping of pre-coated, so-called "coil-coating steel sheet” produced side walls 30 electrically connected.
  • the side walls 30 are formed in the form of a flat shell, the Shell bottom 31 serves as a lateral visible surface of the side walls 30 and through Bending generated shell walls 32 on the heat-insulating housing body 11 encompass its lateral edge sections.
  • shell walls 32 Of the shell walls 32 are the mounting level of the domestic refrigerator 10 facing shell walls 32 with spaced apart elongated holes 33, the longer sides parallel run to the tray bottom 31. Between the slots 33 have the On the installation level, facing shell walls 32 are rectangularly spaced apart Recesses 34, the longer sides of the rectangle also perpendicular to Shell bottom 31 are aligned.
  • the side walls 30 made of sheet steel are made of not shown on the door side Steel struts manufactured, so-called end plates connected, which, like the side walls 30, via the grounding line fixed to the mounting rail 20 21 are grounded.
  • the mounting rail 20, which is in the assembled state, is used for grounding on the basis of the elongated holes 27 on the support web 22 and the elongated holes 33 the fastening means 18 penetrating the side walls 30 on the floor pan 14 is fixed and electrically connected to the two side walls 30.
  • the electrical connection between the mounting rail 20 and the side walls 30 generated by the contact elements 24, which when mounting the mounting rail 20 in Arrow direction (Fig. 2 and Fig.
