ABSTRACT:
A motor-pump assembly for an agitator-type clothes washing machine includes a motor with a vertical drive shaft having upper and lower ends that extend above and below the top and bottom end bells of the motor casing. The lower end of the drive shaft carries a pulley for rotating the input shaft of a belt driven transmission actuating an associated agitator and spin tub. The upper end of the drive shaft carries a water pump impeller contained within a pump casing that rests on a dishlike drip shield, the shield in turn resting on the top end bell of the motor casing. The pump casing, the drip shield, and the top end bell of the motor casing are maintained in vertical alignment with each other by a pair of springlike metal clips that can be easily removed to allow for pump replacement.
