WATER-CARRYING HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE

1 - 15 . (canceled)

16 . A water-carrying household appliance, comprising:

at least one water-carrying line, a line end of which is connected to a connection pipe of one of a water chamber and a water inlet used as a heat exchanger; and

a holder structured to position the line end of the water-carrying line in a connection position for connection to the connection pipe.

17 . The water-carrying household appliance as claimed in claim 16 , wherein in the connection position, when the one of a water chamber and a water inlet is separate from the household appliance, the holder is structured to position the line end in the connection position.

18 . The water-carrying household appliance as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the holder is arranged on an assembly base of the household appliance and is one of a same material as the assembly base and in one piece as the assembly base.

19 . The water-carrying household appliance as claimed in claim 18 , wherein the holder is plastic.

20 . The water-carrying household appliance as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the holder includes two holding arms, between which the line end of the water-carrying line is inserted.

21 . The water-carrying household appliance as claimed in claim 20 , wherein the line end of the water-carrying line includes at least one positioning stop having an annular groove which engages with the holder for a height positioning of the line end.

22 . The water-carrying household appliance as claimed in claim 20 , wherein the holder includes an open recess delimited by the two holding arms with an insertion opening.

23 . The water-carrying household appliance as claimed in claim 22 , wherein the recess includes locking projections on an insertion opening of the recess, which hold the line end in the recess.

24 . The water-carrying household appliance as claim 16 , wherein the line end of the water-carrying line is aligned on an open connection side counter to an assembly direction of the one of a water chamber and a water inlet and protrudes vertically upwards.

25 . The water-carrying household appliance as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the holder on a side of the holder facing away from the connection pipe, includes lateral guide walls, which are operable to position the water-carrying line.

26 . The water-carrying household appliance as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the holder is structured to hold at least two water-carrying lines.

27 . The water-carrying household appliance as claimed in claim 26 , wherein the holder includes a shared first holding arm, which, with two opposite second holding arms, positions respective line ends of the two water-carrying lines.

28 . The water-carrying household appliance as claimed in claim 27 , wherein open recesses delimited by the holding arms are aligned counter to one another.

29 . A method for assembling a water-carrying household appliance in which a water chamber used as one of a heat exchanger and a water inlet is integrated in the household appliance, the method comprising:

connecting a line end of a water-carrying line to a connection pipe of the one of a heat exchanger and a water inlet wherein, in a preassembly step, the line end is pre-positioned in a positionally-correct connection position in respect of a position of the connection pipe and in a subsequent installation step, when integrating the one of a heat exchanger and a water inlet into the household appliance, the connection pipe is automatically connected to the pre-positioned line end.

30 . The method as claimed in claim 29 , wherein in the preassembly step, the line end is pre-positioned when the one of a heat exchanger and a water inlet is separate from the household appliance.
