Abstract
A domestic electrical appliance, for example a dishwasher, is disclosed, in which a door latch is installed in a profile strip of an appliance body. The door latch comprises a latch housing in which, in some embodiments, a rotary gripper and a leg-torsion spring serving as a closing spring are accommodated. In one embodiment, the door latch as a whole is displaceable in the profile strip in the strip longitudinal direction thereof in order to implement a self-healing function which allows the door to close even after the door latch has moved into a closed state without the door being closed. In another embodiment, a housing main part of the latch housing is mounted in a longitudinally fixed manner on the profile strip, but a housing cover of the latch housing is longitudinally displaceable relative to the housing main part, and the torsion spring and the rotary gripper are held on the housing cover.
