Abstract

A household refrigeration apparatus includes an interior container having a first wall, a second wall, and a rear wall angled to each other. The interior container bounds a first receiving space for food. An ice maker has a housing, and the housing is formed by a wall area of the first wall of the interior container and a wall area of the second wall of the interior container in certain areas. The housing bounds a receiving space of the ice maker. The housing has a wall unit with a wall element being a component separate from the interior container and having an L-shape in cross-section. The wall element has a first wall plate and a second wall plate, which together form the L-shape. An elongated seal with a hollow portion is disposed on an edge of the wall element and seals the wall element to the interior container.
