Abstract
The mounting for a motor-pump housing in the bottom opening of a dishwasher chamber consisting of a one-piece elastomer sleeve formed by a large diameter radially outwardly directed top gasket portion, a frusto-conical medial portion and a smaller diameter bottom cylindrical portion. The sleeve medial portion defines with the pump housing a sump for receiving and directing water exiting the chamber and wherein the medial portion is free to flex to substantially obviate the transmission of vibrational energy to the dishwasher casing.
