Modular Arrangement of Functional Units for Household Appliances and Household Appliances Comprising a Modular Arrangement of the Functional Units

Abstract

An arrangement of functional units for one of the following household appliances: refrigerator or freezer, electric cooker, dishwasher, and washing machine. Said household appliance comprises a device body and the arrangement comprises at least three of the following functional units: at least one ventilator, at least one condenser, at least one electronic system, at least one valve, at least one transformer, and an evaporator. The at least three functional units are arranged together on a support and can be functionally, in particular, electrically and/or fludically connected to the device body as a module. The invention also relates to a household appliance comprising the inventive modular arrangement, whereby the arrangement and the device body are functionally, in particular, electrically and/or fluidically connected together. The invention is characterised in that mounting, maintenance and/or repairs of the household appliances are significantly simplified.
