Abstract
A rack mounting assembly for supporting an upper rack assembly within a tub of a dishwasher appliance is provided. The rack mounting assembly includes a mounting body defining a clearance hole and a coaxial mounting boss that is positioned within a counterbored screw hole defined by the tub. A screw passes through the clearance hole and the mounting boss of the mounting body into the screw hole to secure the mounting body to the tub. The mounting body further defines a lateral standoff for creating a gap between the mounting body and a side wall of the tub and other features for properly aligning the mounting body and simplifying assembly.
