Abstract
A stator for an appliance motor includes an annular core made up of a metallic plate that is spirally wound into a laminated structure. An overmold extends around the core and further defines an interior section and a bridge section that extends between the core and the interior section. The interior section includes stator fastening portions that are used to attach the stator to a tub. The bridge section includes a first radial structure that extends from the interior section to the core. The bridge section includes a second radial structure that extends from the interior section to the core. The core, the interior section and the first and second radial structures define a toroidal cavity within the bridge section.
