A refrigerator is an electrical or gas powered device that provides a refrigerated interior for storing refrigerated goods. The temperatures in the interior are usually above 0 ° C, for example between +2 ° C and +12 ° C. A freezer is a corresponding device for storing frozen food and has an interior with temperatures below 0 ° C, for example between -25 ° C and -4 ° C, on. Refrigerator and freezer combinations have at least two internal spaces or two separate areas for the different temperature ranges.

Such refrigerators have a cooling circuit for cooling the respective interior. The cooling circuit absorbs the heat in the interior via a thermally coupled heat exchanger and outputs this by means of a second heat exchanger to the environment. A refrigeration cycle may include a variety of components, such as a condenser, an evaporator, valves, flow resistors, and refrigerant lines.

For improved thermal insulation of the housing of the refrigeration device usually located between the inner wall and the outer wall gap is foamed.

During foaming, the inner wall, the outer wall and the joint between the inner and outer walls must be sealed so that no foam that expands during the foaming process escapes. The sealing of the joint between the inner and outer wall is not without problems and usually leads to leaks. Escaped foam must be removed consuming, which increases the cost of the refrigerator.

For lamination of the transition or the transition point between the inner wall and the outer wall of the door, a door closure strip is provided, which usually consists of a plastic strip with two metallic Einlegteilen for screwing door angles. The door closure strip is primarily a design element with regard to the design.

The disadvantage here is that the door angle must be pre-assembled by hand and the door closure strip for each device model specifically designed and adapted to the specific conditions, such as door width and door angle. Consequently, appropriately designed tools are required, which increases the tool costs and thus the manufacturing cost of the refrigerator.

From the DE 202006019378 U1 a refrigeration device with a divided door closure strip is known, which is covered at the end by separate end caps. The door closure strip is thus interrupted at two points and thus makes it difficult to clean the door.

From the WO 2004/065867 A1 a refrigeration device with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known. In the known refrigerator, the door is formed of an outer wall and an inner wall and provided with a specially prefabricated door closure strip. The door closure strip integrally has a plate-shaped region which has grooves into which the upper edges of the outer wall and the inner wall are inserted. In addition to this plate-shaped region, the known door closure strip still has a viewing window.

From the EP 1555497 A1 is also a refrigerator according to the preamble of claim 1, wherein also a specially prefabricated door closure strip closes the upper portion of the door for the purpose of foaming. For this purpose, the outer edge of the outer wall is bent inwards and the end strip is pushed with an outer bead under this edge. The bent-back area reaches into a groove in the door closing strip.

In the aforementioned refrigerators, the production of the door is expensive.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a refrigerator and freezer, which is simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
