<p>A dishwasher construction including a generally concentric sump and pump construction disposed on a generally vertical axis and driven by a drive belt that is in turn driven by a motor spaced laterally from the axis of the concentric pump. The motor may be mounted in a first position relatively adjacent the rear of the dishwasher and generally opposite the access door whereby the weight of the motor opposes the weight of the door in the open position when the dishwasher is used as a free-standing appliance and may, alternatively, be mounted in a second location relatively adjacent the front of said dishwasher whereby the drive motor is easily accessible when the dishwasher is installed as a built-in appliance.</p> |
