Abstract
A refrigerator unit and/or freezer unit is disclosed having at least one carcass in which a cooled inner space is arranged and having at least one closure element by which the cooled inner space can be closed. The carcass has one or more contact elements at the carcass side and the closure element has one or more contact elements at the closure element side, wherein at least one switch is provided which allows a current flow through the contact elements in the closed state and prevents a current flow through the contact elements in the open state, wherein the switch is switched from its open state into its closed state upon reaching of a specific closing angle, and the switch is switched into the closed state as soon as or after the contact elements at the closure element side are in contact with the contact elements at the carcass side.
