Method for operating a household refrigerator having specific operating process coordination in dependence upon a quiet time interval, and household refrigerator

A method for operating a household refrigerator having an ice maker producing and/or dispensing ice in an ice production mode, which comprises the following steps of:

• providing the household refrigerator with an ability to at least partially deactivate at least one sub-process of the ice production mode in dependence upon a user-defined deactivation criterion;
• providing at least one first operating process of the household refrigerator, which when executed generates a first noise emission that is lower than that of the at least one sub-process;
• specifying a user-specific quiet time interval of the ice maker as the user-defined deactivation criterion, wherein at least the at least one sub-process of the ice production mode is deactivated at least partially during the user-specific quiet time interval, wherein in the user-specific quiet time interval a temperature value is set in a freezer compartment of the household refrigerator and the temperature value is lower than a desired temperature value in the basic operation of the household refrigerator in which the user-specific quiet time interval is not set;
• and
• coordinating an operation of the household refrigerator such that the at least one first operating process is executed at least temporarily during the user-specific quiet time interval.
