Claim 10:
11. A domestic electrical appliance, comprising:
an appliance main body having a working chamber formed therein, which working chamber is accessible through an access opening;
a door pivotably mounted on the appliance main body for closing the access opening; and
a door lock, wherein the door lock comprises a lock module having a module housing, wherein the module housing has an insertion opening for insertion of a closing element on closing of the door of the domestic appliance, and there are accommodated in the module housing a locking member which is arranged to be movable relative to the module housing between an unlocking position and a locking position, and an electrically controllable actuator for actuating the locking member,
wherein the locking member in its unlocking position allows the closing element to move out of the insertion opening and in the locking position effects blocking of the closing element against moving out of the insertion opening,
wherein in being accommodated in the module housing the electrically controllable actuator is substantially enclosed within the module housing,
wherein the locking members in its locking position is configured to directly engage the closing element;
wherein the closing element is arranged on one of the appliance main body and the door and the lock module is arranged on the other of the appliance main body and the door, and
wherein the lock module is movable in a floating manner relative to the other of the appliance main body and the door transversely to an insertion direction in which the closing element enters the insertion opening on closing of the door so as to permit compensating movements of the module housing transversely to the insertion direction of the closing element in order to compensate for any position deviations from a nominal position which the closing element exhibits transversely to the insertion direction.
