The metal frame which holds the door seal on my Ariston dishwasher has come away. It looks like it was originally spot welded to the dishwasher body, but obviously not very well. I've tried Araldite metal glue but the heat from the wash cycle seems to weaken it such that it just comes loose again. Any suggestions?

Counter sunk drill holes and self tapping screws, if the structure allows. No Nails might work. I've found that standard Araldite is hardened by heat within the range put out by a washing machine.
Weld? Solder? Pop rivets? Self tappers?
I had the same problem with mine - tried a few things & finished up using silicone + just one self tapping screw .... Done a few cycles already and so far so good :-)
