Beautiful stainless interior and it retains the 3 level wash system. Interesting that the rinse aid is located on the opposite side of the door compared to the US version. I'm not seeing a float/switch but it could be the angle of the shot.
Can we get a picture of the stainless tub with the lower rack removed, please? |

On Saturday Jason was refurbishing this Hobart dishwasher he’s turning it into a parts washer for his basement shop, to wash vacuum cleaner parts etc.
It has a 6000 W heater in a separate tank for 208 operation. We put it on 120 V lines will take longer to heat up as it will only put out about 1500 Watts.
A few pictures you can see that they use basically the same tank that used in the above machine This commercial model uses the motor and pump assembly from an 18 through 20 series KitchenAid.

Showing its age, as states its made in West Germany. Also, it cost AUD$699 in 1979,which in 2022 is equivalent of AUD$3800. Wow! |

"Hot "n" Cold Connections"
Not available in the US for sure. It also mentions a cold fill will lengthen the cycle. Did these timers have a thermostatical hold?! "Optional Water Softening System" Also comes with a salt indicator light when low on salt. Appears to be adjustble. "Rinse Aid indicator light" Comes with it's own indicator light when low on rinse aid. Also appears to be adjustable. Yup, I'm totally jealous! |
