Abstract
A door locking device for a household appliance is provided. The door locking device includes a base member that has a receptacle; a closing element on a door side that is moved into the receptacle when a door of the household appliance is closed; a control unit; an electrical switch that is switched over in a closed position of the closing element and via which an information signal signaling the closed position of the closing element is transmitted to the control unit; and an interlocking device to mechanically interlock the door. The mechanical interlocking of the door is facilitated in an interlock position of the closing element and the closing element is moved from the interlock position into the closed position when the door is closed.
