Abstract
An example water-conducting household appliance, in particular dishwasher, comprising a motor-pump and a vibration-damping one-piece mounting for fixing the motor-pump to the appliance, the mounting having a through-hole for receiving the motor-pump is provided herein. The motor-pump has a housing comprising a mounting-section with a cylindrically shaped outer surface, and the through-hole has a circular cross-section adapted for receiving the cylindrically shaped outer surface of the motor-pump. The housing has at least two protrusions extending in an outward direction beyond the cross-section of the through-hole for connecting the housing to the mounting, and the mounting has cut-outs extending from the circular cross-section of the through-hole in an outward direction, the cut-outs and the protrusions of the housing being shaped so that for fixing the motor-pump to the mounting, the motor-pump can be partially fed through the through-hole by feeding each protrusion through a corresponding cut-out of the mounting.
