  • Publication number: 20110227462
    Abstract: A household appliance includes a cabinet-shaped housing comprised of a plurality of walls. At least one of the walls has an arrangement of embossings. The arrangement of embossings includes a first embossing arranged centered in relation to a center of the at least one wall and configured in the shape of a ring when viewed from above. A second embossing is arranged outside the first embossing in substantial concentric relationship to the first embossing and configured in the shape of a ring when viewed from above. At least one third embossing is arranged outside the second embossing and has a strip-shaped configuration. The presence of embossings in the at least one wall is able to reduce vibrations and thereby significantly reduce the amount of unwanted noise.
