Abstract

A refrigeration appliance contains an inner container delimiting an interior and having an opening, a first reinforcement part anchored to in the opening of the inner container and has a screw hole and extends in an axial direction, and at least one coupling part. A built-in part is disposed in the interior and has an opening. The built-in part is fastened by the at least one coupling part pushing through the opening of said built-in part in an axial direction and engages into the first reinforcement part. The first reinforcement part has a side facing toward the interior and on the side facing toward the interior has an atrium, a cross-section of the atrium being greater than that of the screw hole. The coupling part has a peg, a cross-section of the peg being greater than that of the screw hole and the peg engages into the atrium.
