Abstract
A rack mounting assembly for supporting an upper rack assembly within a tub of a dishwasher appliance is provided. The tub defines an alignment slot and a screw hole. The rack mounting assembly includes a mounting body defining a mounting hole and a protruding member configured for engaging the alignment slot of the tub when the mounting body is properly aligned. A retention feature, such as one or more flexible arms, extends from the protruding member and toward the tub to hold the mounting body in place until a screw may be passed through the mounting hole and into the screw hole to secure the mounting body to the tub.
