The invention pertains to a resilient mounting used to mount electric motors in a motor housing on refrigeration units. The motor housing includes a plurality of spaced-apart recesses or openings on the periphery of the inner surface or face, while the electric motor includes a plurality of complementary spaced lugs also having recesses or openings formed therein, the motor and motor housing recesses when in the assembled position being opposite each other. Isolators formed of a rubber or rubberlike material fit into the complementary recesses on the motor housing and recesses in the lugs on the motor to yieldably and resiliently support the motor within the housing.
