• such an outer wall side section has a U-shaped, bent section. When assembled, this section acts as a snap-in element. This bent section snaps into place behind a locking hook.
• This locking hook is integrally formed with a connecting piece.
• This connecting piece forms an end strip of the door.
• Doors for household appliances are known to be made up of several parts.
• this bent section is relatively short and cantilevers freely. This makes it relatively easy for it to become deformed undesirably. This could negatively affect the snap connection with the locking hook.
• the outer wall side section is located precisely in this area, which is...
• the locking hook is opposite or immediately adjacent, single-walled, and without any further support. This also impairs stability.
• the object of the present invention is to create a door for a household refrigeration appliance in which the mechanical coupling between an outer wall and a separate end strip is improved.
• the invention relates to a door according to claim 1 for a household refrigeration appliance.
• the door has an outer wall.
• This outer wall has a front wall and at least one side wall strip molded onto it laterally and projecting from it at an angle.
• the side wall strip has an end facing away from the front wall.
• This end has a folded-back section.

• the end strip has a counter-snap element.
• the counter-snap element is designed to snap into the snap-in element.
• the end strip has an integrated mounting aid area. This mounting aid area is thus formed integrally with the end strip.
• This assembly aid area has a sloping wall which, when the outer wall is joined with the end strip, is designed to automatically bend the side wall strip elastically outwards in the width direction (x).
• This inclined wall is thus intended and defined to deflect this side wall strip in a defined manner when the aforementioned components are assembled as intended.
• this side wall strip is defined and intended to move outwards in the width direction of the door.
• the end strip also has a contact wall. Viewed in the depth direction of the door, this contact wall is formed in line between the inclined wall and the catch element. The side wall strip rests against this contact wall.
• the inner surface of the side wall strip is directly and evenly connected to the end strip between the outer wall and the end strip.
• This design of the outer wall and end strip allows for very simple mechanical assembly.
• the mechanical connection between the outer wall and the end strip is particularly stable. Specifically, the desired deformation of the side wall strip can be achieved very precisely and accurately. Moreover, the assembled final state is then secure and stable against deformation.

• the base wall and the inclined wall do not lie in a common plane.
• the base wall and the inclined wall are oriented at an angle greater than 0°, and in particular at least greater than 5°, to each other.
• the outer wall is arranged without contact to the inclined wall.
• the geometric specification of the end strip facilitates and guides the passage of the side wall strip along this component chain of the end strip. Furthermore, in the assembled state, this design ensures a very stable and large-area contact and direct connection between the side wall strip and the end strip in this assembly aid area. This is particularly advantageous because the door is filled with a thermally insulating material, specifically insulating foam, in the space between the outer wall and an inner lining.
• the aforementioned design of the door in the area of the outer wall and the adjacent end strip also effectively prevents the thermally insulating foam from escaping unintentionally at this interface between the outer wall and the end strip.
• these sections of the end strip are arranged in a specific, sequential sequence. This allows for improved and simpler installation and, in the final installed state, a more stable and secure connection between the outer wall and the end strip.

• the sloping wall viewed vertically from the door, terminates with a first edge that is closer to an end flange of the end strip than a second edge of the sloping wall, which is set back from an end flange of the end strip.
• This design effectively sets the sloping wall back vertically from the actual end of the end strip as viewed in this vertical direction. This creates space between the sloping wall and this actual end of the end strip, allowing for an additional section of the end strip. This is particularly advantageous for further stabilizing the outer wall against the end strip. It is especially beneficial because the sloping wall does not form the outermost vertical end of the end strip, thus preventing an undesirable gap between the outer wall and the end strip in the assembled final state of the components.
• the aforementioned advantageous embodiment also provides improved foam sealing at this interface between the outer wall and the end strip.

• the additional wall is L-shaped. It has a partial front surface, meaning it is flat towards the front. This front surface extends in a plane defined by the height and width of the door. When installed between the outer wall and the end strip, the front of the outer wall rests directly against this front surface with its back or inner surface.

• the inside of the outer wall rests directly and without interruption against this U-shaped surface frame, particularly across its entire surface.
• the assembly aid area surrounded by the U-shaped surface frame is spaced apart from the inside of the outer wall.
• This U-shaped surface frame advantageously creates a foam-tight interface between the outer wall and the end strip at this local point, thus preventing the escape of insulating foam.
• the outer wall is pressed firmly against this U-shaped surface frame.
• it is not just a simple matter that is envisaged, but This achieves a tight, pressed-together contact, resulting in a defined, forceful pressing of the outer wall against the end strip. This further reinforces the advantages mentioned above.
• the end strip acts as a height stop for an edge of the outer wall.
• the end strip serves as a stop for an edge of the outer wall. This allows for particularly precise positioning between the outer wall and the end strip in this vertical direction, achieving a highly accurate alignment.
• the end web is formed with a front section when viewed in the depth direction of the door.
• This front section is formed at a first level when viewed in the height direction of the door.
• This second section is formed as a sloping step when viewed in the height direction of the door. This sloping step serves as a stop for a stepped edge of the side panel strip.
• This stepped design creates a complementary shape between the two components, ensuring a flush and uninterrupted fit.
• this shape of the angled step, with its stepped edge allows for easy joining.

Unwanted impact of a The bending structure, which is formed on the side wall strip and is intended to be guided past the sloping wall during assembly, is thereby improved and avoided.

• This edge has a first, front section when viewed vertically from the door, which is formed at a first level when viewed vertically from the door.
• a second section of this edge located at the rear when viewed vertically from the door, abuts the first section.
• This second section is formed as a sloping step when viewed vertically from the door. This allows the second section of the edge to pass the first section of the end strip at a distance when the end strip is joined to the outer wall as intended, particularly in a linear fashion. This enables a particularly simple, jam-free, and precise assembly of the two components together.
• the bent-back section of the side wall strip which forms the snap element, is bent towards the side wall strip.
• a double wall, tapering towards the front wall is formed by the side wall strip and the bent-back section.
• the snap element can thus achieve improved engagement with the counter-snap element. This results in a better and more stable snap-fit connection between the components.

• the end strip has an L-shaped contact area adjacent to the sloping wall when viewed vertically along the door. In the fully assembled state, the end strip rests against the outer wall on one side of this contact area and on the other side. Vertically, the contact area is shorter than the snap element. It does not extend vertically into the section of the height where the mounting aid area is located. Therefore, vertically, this contact area ends before this mounting aid area. Consequently, the contact area is not designed to overlap the sloping wall of the mounting aid area.
