In particular, this plunging is such that the web 49 is completely arranged in this recess 77. In particular, the protrusion 75 further protrudes into the receiving space 21 than the groove 49 is wide in this width direction. Thereby, the dripping of condensation water from the condensation water drip bar 76 is allowed such that water cannot get laterally past the groove 49 and thus into the recess 77. The condensation water drips from the condensation water drip bar 76 directly onto that area of the inner wall element 30, which inwardly adjoins to the web 49.

(90) In FIG. 16, an enlarged representation of the view in FIG. 15 is shown, wherein that section in the area of the protrusion 75 and the recess 77 is shown here. Preferably, it is provided that an angle α, which is measured between a protrusion wall 79 of the protrusion 75 and the downward adjoining wall section 78 of the first wall 15 or the wall area 22, is less than or equal to 110°, in particular less than or equal to 90°.

(95) In FIG. 18, the interior container 4 is shown in its upper area, wherein a view to the rear wall 17 from behind is provided here. Thus, a view is directed from the foam side to the rear wall 17, which means that it is looked from the clearance 5 towards the rear wall 17.

(96) Here, it is apparent that a pedestal 86 is integrally formed at the rear wall 17 in an advantageous implementation. This pedestal 86 is formed offset rearward with respect to a base plate 87 of the rear wall 17 viewed in depth direction. Thus, the pedestal 86 is formed backpack-like at the base plate 87. As is apparent in FIG. 18, the drain gutter 80 is formed at the lower end of the pedestal 86, in particular formed completely within the pedestal 86. The drain gutter 80 is therefore arranged offset rearward with respect to the base plate 87 viewed in depth direction. In particular, the drain gutter 80 is thus virtually rearward offset from the volume, which is bounded by the base plate 87, and thus rearward offset towards the clearance 5. Thus, the drain gutter 80 is displaced into the area, in which the insulating foam is arranged.

(97) Moreover, it is also apparent in FIG. 18 that the drain gutter 80 bulges out rearward with respect to the pedestal 86, which is trough-like formed, and thus forms a bead-like protrusion towards the bottom and the rear. Preferably, the drain gutter 80 extends across the entire width of the pedestal 86.

In particular, this web 88 is arranged upward offset and contactless to the front gutter edge 82, as it is shown in FIG. 22. The web 88 extends in depth direction for example as far as it completely covers the front gutter edge 82.

(102) Thereby, it is also allowed that the drain of the condensation water from the first wall plate 27 is securely effected into the drain gutter 80 on the one hand. On the other hand and independently thereof, it is thereby then also allowed that the first wall plate 27 is positionally securely and mechanically stably retained and virtually rests on this front gutter edge 82. Thereby, it is in particular also allowed that a pre-assembly position of the wall unit 25 is now also securely achieved at this location in addition to the previously mentioned examples with the positioning elements or instead thereof.

(103) In addition or instead, it can be provided that the first wall plate 27 rests on the pedestal base 83, as it is shown in FIG. 22. The screw joint or a screw connection, in particular of the first wall plate 27 to the screw boss 84, is also shown, wherein a screw 89 is illustrated here.

(105) Further, in the embodiment, but which is not to be conclusively understood, four screw connections are provided, by which the wall unit 25 is fixed to the interior container 4. This relates to the screw connection with the screw 67, the screw connection with the screw 65 and the screw connections with screws 89 at the screw domes 84 and 85. More or less screw connections can also be provided.

(106) In a method for assembling the housing 20 of the ice maker 11, the interior container 4 is produced and provided integrally with the first wall 15 and with the second wall 19 arranged angled thereto. Furthermore, a wall unit 25 separate from the interior container 4 is provided, wherein the wall unit 25 comprises at least one positioning element, which is formed integrally with the wall unit 25. The positioning elements are produced as plug pins 50 and/or 52 and/or as a locking element 70. This wall unit 25 is introduced into the receiving space 6 of the interior container 4. In particular, the web 88 is first placed on the pedestal base 83. At the same time or subsequently, the plug pin 50 is introduced into the receptacle 51 and/or the plug pin 52 is introduced into the receptacle 68 in the embodiment. Since the plug pins 50 and 52 are oriented in different spatial directions, namely in width direction and in height direction, a pre-assembly position in height direction and in width direction, in particular in the front area 33, can be autonomously retained by this implementation. The same is achieved with the locking element 70 if it is formed instead of the plug pin 50. The plug pin 52 can for example also be replaced with a locking element. By the rest of the web 88 on the pedestal base 83 in the rear area of the housing 20, the pre-assembly position is securely and autonomously retained there too.

(107) In this pre-assembly position, the subsequent screwing of the screws, which are provided for producing the screw connections, and by which the final position of the wall unit 25 at the interior container 4 is produced, can be effected without retaining the wall unit 25 by an assembler.
