Abstract: A method determines a door opening request based on a pressure actuation against a door of a household appliance. A plunger is driven by an electric machine via a transmission. An electrical voltage is applied to a stator winding which is electrically coupled to a control unit at least during temporary support of the plunger head against a door inner face. When the door is in the closed state a force is applied to the plunger and by a sensor facility a stator winding-side induced voltage is detected, which has a voltage pulse depending on the pressure actuation. An amplitude of the voltage pulse is compared in a first comparison with a voltage comparison value and a temporal extent of the voltage pulse is compared in a second comparison with a time comparison value. The door opening request is determined depending on comparison results of the first and second comparison.
