Dishwasher with a tub support

A dishwasher comprising:

• a metal tub having a bottom wall, a top wall, opposing side walls, and a rear wall, which define an open-faced chamber adapted to receive dishes for washing;
• a structural frame for supporting the metal tub and having a leg for supporting a portion of the metal tub;
• a clamp mounted to the leg and in contact with and applying a clamping force to one of the metal tub walls to retain the metal tub to the structural frame;
• and
• the bottom wall and the side wall abut to form a junction and said junction forms a generally downwardly extending weldment, the leg has a platform on which the bottom wall is supported and which is positioned behind the weldment, and the leg has a face and the clamp is mounted to the face of the leg and is shaped to conform to the sidewall to apply a clamping force against the sidewall to retain the metal tub in a substantially fixed position.
