Claims (21)

1. A water-bearing domestic appliance, comprising:

an appliance element;

an appliance component attached to the appliance element at a suspension point, wherein the suspension point is disposed in a predetermined region of the center of gravity of the appliance component; and

a suspension apparatus for attachment of the appliance component, wherein the suspension apparatus has a first attachment means and a second attachment means that are disposed at a distance from one another and wherein the suspension apparatus has a base body, and wherein the first attachment means and the second attachment means are formed by separate openings through the base body of the suspension apparatus, wherein at least one of the separate openings has a triangle shaped cross section;

wherein the appliance element has a plug-in pin and the appliance component has a plug-in pin, and wherein the appliance element plug-in pin is inserted into a first one of the openings and the appliance component plug-in pin is inserted into a second one of the openings;

wherein the appliance element plug-in pin and the appliance component plug-in pin are held in the respective first and second openings configured to prevent twisting due to respective forms of the respective cross sections of the first and second openings and the appliance element plug-in pin and appliance component plug-in pin.

2. The water-bearing domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein the water-bearing domestic appliance is one of a dishwasher and a washing machine.

3. The water-bearing domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein the suspension apparatus has an elastic segment.

4. The water-bearing domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein the base body has a constriction that is located between the first and the second openings.

5. The water-bearing domestic appliance of claim 4 , wherein the constriction is disposed centrally between the first and the second openings.

6. The water-bearing domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein profiles of the first and the second openings are identical.

7. The water-bearing domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein each of the appliance element plug-in pin and the appliance component plug-in pin has a non-round cross section.

8. The water-bearing domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein respective cross sections of the openings of the appliance element plug-in pin and the appliance component plug-in pin are matched to one another with respect to form.

9. The water-bearing domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein each of the appliance element plug-in pin and the appliance component plug-in pin has a respective engaging step.

10. The water-bearing domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein each of the appliance element plug-in pin and the appliance component plug-in pin has a respective insertion orientation, and has an identical insertion orientation.

11. The water-bearing domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein the base body has an elongated shape with two end regions, and wherein the openings are disposed in the two end regions.

12. The water-bearing domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein the base body has a reinforcing rib.

13. The water-bearing domestic appliance of claim 12 , wherein the reinforcing rib is configured of a same material as the base body.

14. The water-bearing domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein the appliance element is one of a pump sump and a base sump of a dishwasher.

15. The water-bearing domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein the appliance component is a pump of a dishwasher.

16. The water-bearing domestic appliance of claim 15 , wherein the pump is a circulation pump.
