Abstract
A door latch for a domestic electrical appliance wherein the door latch comprises a rotary gripper which, on closing of a door, can be transferred from a release position into a gripping position by rotation in a rotational plane, and an electrically controllable locking mechanism having a movably arranged blocking element which, in the gripping position of the rotary gripper, can be fixed in a blocking position in which the blocking element cooperates with the rotary gripper to block the movement of the rotary gripper both from the gripping position into the release position and from the gripping position into a yielding position. The rotary gripper forms a gripping mouth which in the gripping position is oriented to hold captive a closing shackle which, on closing of the door, moves relatively closer to the rotary gripper along a closing path and arranged for a yielding movement into the yielding position.
