Abstract
A circuit configuration operates an electrically triggerable magnet valve having a valve-control element adjustable into at least two working positions for selecting one fluid-flow path at a time to be acted upon by a fluid and corresponding to a respective working position. The circuit configuration includes a device for adjusting the valve-control element into a different working position in connection with an imposition of fluid, predominantly present in liquid components, on at least a portion of a fluid-flow path formed by the magnet valve. A refrigeration appliance, in particular a refrigerator or freezer or a combination refrigerator-freezer includes the circuit configuration.
