1. A method for assembling a dishwasher that includes a wash compartment with a base wall that has a retaining contour, and an electronic control module supported by the retaining contour and which controls appliance components in the dishwasher, the method comprising:
- providing a base wall of a wash compartment, an upper face of the base wall at least partially defining an interior of the wash compartment;
inserting an electronic control module into a position such that the electronic control module is beneath the base wall and a peripheral face of the electronic control module is between positioning stops formed on a lower face of the base wall; and
subsequently, tilting the electronic control module into a final assembly position against at least one locking element thereby causing the locking element to be resiliently moved into a locking position in which the locking element locks the electronic control module in the final assembly position.

16. A method for assembling a dishwasher that includes a wash compartment with a base wall at least partially defining an assembly space beneath the base wall, and an electronic control module configured to be received in the assembly space and control appliance components in the dishwasher, the method comprising:
-
providing a first depth stop extending from a lower face of the base wall to limit movement of the electronic control module in a first depth direction; providing at least one first side stop extending from the lower face of the base wall to limit movement of the electronic control module in a first side direction; providing at least one supporting frame attached to the base wall at a side portion thereof, the supporting frame configured to support the dishwasher via appliance feet; inserting the electronic control module into a position such that the electronic control module is beneath the base wall of the wash compartment; and locking the electronic control module in a final assembly position with at least one locking element that is connected to the supporting frame, wherein an upper face of the base wall at least partially defines an interior of the wash compartment. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
