A household refrigeration apparatus includes an interior container with a first wall and a second wall angled thereto. The interior container bounds a first receiving space for food. An ice maker has a housing formed by wall areas of the first and second walls in certain areas. The housing bounds a receiving space of the ice maker. The housing has a wall unit separate from the interior container. The interior container has a rear wall having a base plate and a step integrally formed with the base plate. The wall unit has a wall element separate from the interior container. The wall element has an L-shape in cross-section, and the wall element has first and second wall plates together forming the L-shape. The first wall plate has a rear web resting on the step. A method for assembling an ice maker housing is also provided.

An inner container for a domestic refrigeration appliance includes walls that delimit at least portions of a receiving area for food. One of the walls has a cut-out hole on which a separate attachment can be installed in order to at least partly cover the cut-out hole. One end of the cut-out hole adjoins an elevated hole pocket which is formed in the wall and which has a diagonal pocket wall that forms a guide ramp for the attachment when the attachment is installed on the wall. A domestic refrigeration appliance and a method are also provided.

A refrigeration appliance has an internal container, which has a back wall and side walls, and an air distributor cladding which is arranged on the back wall and bounds an air distributor duct. A visible surface of the air distributor cladding covers a majority of the width of the back wall. Side faces of the air distributor cladding, together with the internal container, bound grooves that run on either side of the air distributor cladding and that are open towards a front side of the internal container. Outlet openings of the air distributor cladding are formed on the side faces.

An ice maker for a household refrigeration apparatus includes a housing with an opening through which ice is dispensable from an interior of the housing out of the housing. A crushing device for crushing ice is provided at the opening. A flap is movably disposed at the opening and switchable between a closed position for dispensing crushed ice and an opened position for dispensing uncrushed ice through the opening. A drive unit is coupled to the flap by a coupling device for moving the flap. The flap has a pivot axis about which the flap pivots and a first flap arm coupled to the coupling device and a second flap arm movable relative to the opening, extend radially away from the pivot axis. A household refrigeration apparatus includes an apparatus housing having a receiving space for food, and an ice maker.

A household refrigeration apparatus includes an interior container having a first wall, a second wall, and a rear wall angled to each other. The interior container bounds a first receiving space for food. An ice maker has a housing, and the housing is formed by a wall area of the first wall of the interior container and a wall area of the second wall of the interior container in certain areas. The housing bounds a receiving space of the ice maker. The housing has a wall unit with a wall element being a component separate from the interior container and having an L-shape in cross-section. The wall element has a first wall plate and a second wall plate, which together form the L-shape. An elongated seal with a hollow portion is disposed on an edge of the wall element and seals the wall element to the interior container.

A household refrigeration apparatus has an interior container with a first wall and with a second wall arranged angled thereto. The interior container bounds a first receiving space for food of the household refrigeration apparatus. An ice maker has a housing formed by a wall area of the first wall of the interior container and a wall area of the second wall of the interior container in certain areas. The wall area of the first wall is formed with a wall step with a protrusion, which protrudes into the receiving space of the ice maker, wherein the protrusion is formed as a condensation water drip bar.

A household refrigeration apparatus has an ice maker with a housing. The housing is formed with a wall element, which has an L-shape in cross-section. The wall element includes a first wall plate and a second wall plate, which together form the L-shape. The housing further has a positioning bracket separate from the wall element. The positioning bracket is non-rectilinear and has a first end, which is non-destructively detachably connected to the first wall plate of the wall element, and has a second end, which is non-destructively detachably connected to the second wall plate.

A household refrigeration apparatus has an interior container with a first wall and with a second wall arranged angled thereto. The interior container bounds a first receiving space for food of the household refrigeration apparatus. An ice maker has a housing formed by a wall area of the first wall of the interior container and a wall area of the second wall of the interior container in certain areas. The housing bounds a receiving space of the ice maker. The housing has a wall unit, which is a unit separate from the interior container. The wall unit includes at least one positioning element, which is formed integrally with the wall unit and which is a protruding plug pin or a locking element.
