ABSTRACT:
A door latch is particularly suited for a washing machine door. The device has a pivotally mounted rotary catch for latching onto a locking element and a pivotally mounted blocking or arresting element. The latter is pivotally mounted between a latching position that latches the rotary catch and an unlatching position that releases the rotary catch. The arresting element can be actuated by a bimetallic adjusting element, which can be heated by a heating element, and by an actuator system that, at the same time, is actively connected to the turning catch in a direct manner. A torque component effected on the arresting member by the actuator system is greater in value that a torque component introduced by the bimetallic adjusting element.
