An appliance, comprising;

• a tub defining a wash chamber;
• a pump assembly disposed in the wash chamber, the pump assembly comprising,
• a first housing portion mounted to a second housing portion to form a pump housing,
• a cup of the second housing portion defining an air chamber,
• a tube extending from the first housing portion into the air chamber of the second housing portion, the tube defining an opening,
• an electrical wire passing through the tube and into the pump housing,
• a grommet positioned in the opening of the tube, the grommet sealingly engaging the tube of the first housing portion at the air chamber of the second housing portion, the electrical wire passing through the grommet, and
• a rotary pump disposed within the pump housing, the rotary pump in fluid communication with the wash chamber.
