Abstract

A door damper (100) is made preferably of heat-resistant plastic material and comprises a damper element (150) as well as a pestle (110) that is securely guided in the housing (120) of the door damper. As an integrated structure, it can be mounted at any suitable location at a household appliance (160) that is cool and the pestle (110) can directly contact the front door (220, 300). Beneficially, it comprises an orifice (140) at the housing (120) to fix it at a sidewall of a household appliance (161) or at the front door (220, 300). Beneficially, the door damper also comprises a switch (145) that allows switching a door alarm, a light or influencing cooking functions.
