Abstract

A dishwasher tub and support assembly includes a base having a horizontal base support member with first and second spaced apart apertures being formed therein. A tub includes a pair of pedestal legs having a first and second pair of tabs extending downwardly therefrom. The tabs are positioned so as to register with the spaced apart first and second apertures of the base. The first pair of tabs is inserted into the first apertures of the base, and the tub is pivoted so that the second pair of tabs fit within the second apertures of the base. Both the first and second tabs hold the tub against vertical and horizontal movement relative to the base.
