Zusammenfassung:A household appliance has a sensor module and a control unit which are connected to one another via a cable harness containing a cable to supply power to the sensor module and to transmit data. The sensor module is connected to the control unit via an FDP-link III-compatible or GMSL-compatible connection which contains a serializer which is associated with the sensor module, a deserializer, and a cable harness which connects the serializer and the deserializer. A method is used to operate the household appliance, in which, sensor data generated by the sensor module are translated into FPD-link III-compatible serial data by the serializer of the FPD-link III connection. The serial data are transmitted via the cable harness to a deserializer and are back-translated therein, and the back-translated sensor data are transmitted to the control unit. The method is used in refrigeration appliances having cameras for recording images.
