Abstract

A domestic electrical appliance includes an appliance main body having an access opening to a usable chamber formed inside the appliance main body, and a door which is movably mounted on the appliance main body and which in an open position frees the access opening and in a closed position closes the access opening, a door latch for holding the door closed in the closed position, and a door opener, structurally separate from the door latch, for opening the closed door. The door opener includes a first coupling structure displaceably arranged on one of the appliance main body and the door, an electrically controllable drive unit for driving the first coupling structure, and a second coupling structure arranged on the other of the appliance main body and the door. The first and second coupling structure are configured for push- and pull-transmitting but releasable coupling engagement with one another.
