Abstract
A dishwasher pump mounting assembly is provided, and includes a pump mounting plate which is supported by the bottom wall of the dishwasher tub and extends through a hole in the bottom wall. A plurality of locking members secure the pump mounting plate to the bottom wall and prevent upward movement of the housing. Each lock member includes a pivotal lever moveable between locked and unlocked position, and a slideable plunger movable between extended and retracted positions within the lever. In the extended position, the plunger maintains the lever in the locked position. In the retracted position, the lever is free to be pivoted between the unlocked and locked positions.
