LG dishwasher - built in mounting clips snapped off
LG dishwasher model# LDF7551ST
there is a hole in either side of the frame where a screw holds the dishwasher tub to the counter. Screw goes through a metal clip, which eventually snapped off on both sides, and dishwasher now tips forward whenever the lower drawer is pulled out. They sell some kind of clip on their website that looks like it would clip in to the tub frame allowing it to be secured with a screw. Does anyone know if this clip would have come with the dishwasher? I see from the owners manual there is another clip that would secure the top of the frame to the counter top, but we have granite counters and chose not to drill into the granite. Is there a quick fix to secure to cabinets or am I better off purchasing the bracket they are selling?
Dishwasher was installed by HD in 2013.

On most dishwashers the top clip moves to the side when side mounting.Here is a blow up of dishwasher

E005 is clip under tub
I have put a screw with a large head to hold them in but you have to careful not to bend anything or let door hit it.

I tried to attach a pic, but having trouble.
The top clips were never used. there was a built in clip on the side, that broke off. there is a plug covering the hole on the inside of dishwasher tub, to access the clip. the screw went through the clip and into the cabinet. I'm thinking the tub may have been moving slightly which caused the clip to break off

side mounting LG dishwasher LDF7551ST
The mounting clips broke off of our LG dishwasher, too. Originally, our builder tried to mount our original dishwasher to our granite countertop by using plastic anchors. It may be done all the time, as norm201 stated, but the screws eventually pull out and your dishwasher is no longer anchored. Our second dishwasher is an LG. It was side-mounted into the cabinets and stayed put for a while until the mounting clips failed. Has anyone successfully used a bracket to side mount their LG dishwasher to the cabinets, please respond with which anchor you used. Thanks so much.

Just 2 weeks ago I found a screw and washer and secured the unit to the side cabinets, just couldn’t put the little plastic plugs back on. Hopefully this will hold.

Found the new brackets at Amazon. Several different prices from 36$ to 6$ here is the link.

The clips linked to show $36. That is not a correct price or if it is..... it's not realistic.
