Abstract: The device comprises a support housing with an opening for the introduction of a hook connected to the door, a retaining member moving with respect to the housing between a rest position in which it enables the hook to be introduced into the opening and an operating position in which it is adapted to retain the hook introduced into this opening, a locking device including a locking member moving between a disengaged and an engaged position in which it is adapted to allow and respectively to prevent the retaining member from moving from the operating position to the rest position and a control device that can be electrically actuated and is adapted to control the position of the locking member.

Abstract: The device includes a housing having an aperture for the introduction of an engagement member fixed to the door, a retainer member mounted movably in the housing and movable between a working position in which it holds the engagement member when the door is closed and enables the domestic electrical appliance to operate, and a rest position in which it allows the engagement member to be released when the door is open and the engagement member to enter the aperture when the door is closed. An electromechanical control device includes a movable locking element movable under predetermined conditions, into a locking position in which it prevents the retainer member from moving from the working position to the rest position. The device further includes stop elements which lock the retainer in the rest position when the door is open, and release this retainer member when the door is closed.
