Abstract

See full text

An electromagnetic door lock is provided for locking the door of a domestic appliance. The electromagnetic door lock may include a rotating cam that rotates about an axis between an open-door position and closed-door position. The rotating cam may cooperate with a hook fixed to a door of a domestic appliance. A locking device locks the rotating cam in the locking position. The locking device includes an electromagnetic actuator configured for moving a locking pin between a locking position and an unlocking position. A door sensing device includes a door sensing element movable between a first position and a second position that respectively correspond to the open-door position and to the closed-door position of the rotating cam. At least one contactless proximity sensor may detect the locking position of the locking pin.
