Abstract
A refrigerator has an appliance body on which at least two doors arranged one above the other are pivotably mounted. The doors are mounted via a double hinge which is fixed to the appliance body with a mounting plate which is connected via a plurality of movable joint levers to an upper hinge part connected to the upper door and to a lower hinge part connected to the lower door via a plurality of further movable joint levers. The upper door is further pivotably mounted on the appliance body via a support hinge which is fixed to the appliance body by a mounting element that is connected to a plurality of joint levers connected to a further hinge part connected to the upper door. The joint levers of the support hinge have a greater vertical extent in the vertical direction than the joint levers of the double hinge.
