Abstract: The present invention relates to a thermoelectrically cooled or heated container, in particular a refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit, having at least one cooled or heated inner space and having at least one thermoelectric element, in particular having at least one Peltier element, for generating cold or heat in the inner space, wherein the thermoelectric element is arranged between two thermoconductive solid bodies of which one or both have an increasing cross-sectional area as the spacing from the thermoelectric element increases.

Abstract: A refrigerator unit and/or freezer unit is disclosed having at least one carcass in which a cooled inner space is arranged and having at least one closure element by which the cooled inner space can be closed. The carcass has one or more contact elements at the carcass side and the closure element has one or more contact elements at the closure element side, wherein at least one switch is provided which allows a current flow through the contact elements in the closed state and prevents a current flow through the contact elements in the open state, wherein the switch is switched from its open state into its closed state upon reaching of a specific closing angle, and the switch is switched into the closed state as soon as or after the contact elements at the closure element side are in contact with the contact elements at the carcass side.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a refrigerator/freezer having doors in turn having seals, with the seals in the closed state of the doors sealing the region between the doors, the seal of at least one door movable into a position at least regionally having larger spacing from the seal of the other door than in the closed position, at least one cam moving on opening and closing the door, and the cam contacting both the door and the seal to move the seal from the first to second position when the door is opened.

Abstract: A refrigerator and/or freezer has at least one interconnecting element extending between two compartments of the appliance, wherein one or more holding members are provided, which are connected with the inner container of the appliance and on which the interconnecting element is arranged such that the holding member at least partly extends between the inner container and the interconnecting element.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit comprising at least one fan, at least one compressor and at least one condenser, wherein the fan is arranged such that it applies air to the compressor and to the condenser in parallel.

Abstract: A household appliance has an arrangement for guiding a cable from a body of a furniture element or appliance to a closure element, which can be swivelled relative to the body by a hinge and by which the body can be closed.
