Abstract

A household appliance, in particular a household refrigerator, includes a receiving space, in particular for food, which is delimited by walls of the household appliance. A backing part is mounted on an outer side of one of the walls facing away from the receiving space. The backing part has a coupling element which, when the backing part is mounted on the outer side, is coupled to a counter-coupling element which is on the outer side. The counter-coupling element is constructed as a raised cup without holes, and the coupling element is constructed as a receptacle through which the cup extends in the mounted state. A method for mounting a backing part on a wall of a household appliance is also provided.
