The water bearing appliance according to the invention includes a water circuit (103, 115) having a pump (107, 116) for moving water within said water circuit (103, 115). The pump (107, 116) comprising a case (203, 301) having walls forming a fluid accessible cavity (309). The water bearing appliance of the present invention is characterized in that at least a portion of said case walls form a pressure-absorbing member (301) which is adapted to elastically deform, so that the pressure caused by freezing of water contained in the case (203, 301) can be absorbed.
