Hey guys I’m curious has anybody seen one of these dishwashers before, I had two of them in my collection, And I’m curious, should this dishwasher be connected to hot or cold water?
Anybody seen a dishwasher like this?

Similar over here were Hinari
No idea where you could buy one but I am guessing any big box store. But they were called if memory serves "Studio dishwashers" in other word poor buggers with tiny kitchen as they sat on the draining board of the sink thus not taking up any more space and to my mind a darn site better than doing dishes by hand.... !!

Oh cool
Although I think it’s kind of weird how you can turn off the heater during the wash cycle

Switching off heater would be good for people on stand-alone solar who couldn't feed a hungry heater.
It's not such an issue these days as solar power systems are so much cheaper, but when that dw was made, people on solar commonly used to disconnect dishwasher heaters and fill from hot only, often adding a kettle of (gas or wood heated) boiling water, too.

Does that say Made in Israel?
I think so
Yeah I think it probably is

Lemair
Lemair is an Australian brand but I don't think they have ever made product themselves, it has always been a badge stuck on products from a variety of countries - in the 1980s they had rebadged Indesit washer-dryers, rebadged Vyatka (BRTKA) front load washers from USSR, and Soviet fridges, too. Before that, they had Lemair-Helvetica sewing machines which I think came from Switzerland? The badge still exists, AFAIK only on Chinese fridges and washing machines.

Gizmo: you forgot the vacuuming!
Adam: regarding the fill water, you'd have to experiment to see what works. Is a 1600W rating overall going to leave enough grunt for heating with motor running? Or does motor stop while heater operates? More importantly, does the fill hose look like it's rated for hot water? You may find it isn't. It could becomes soft and fail when hot and under pressure after the first fill while waiting for the next fill. Given the temp settings and the fact there is a heater, I'd guess cold fill ... at least for a few trials ... to see how things go ...

I think it's a cold fill machine.
When using rinse + hold you turn the heater off.
The fill hose does not look like it will withstand hot water.

A countertop unit I have has an option to heat the water for both the first wash and last rinse, or not. Those mini units are often used in campers, RVs, small yachts, and such where heated water may be a challenge, so they have heating for use on a cold connection.
I’ve seen one of the countertop unit but it wouldn’t have
An option To disable the heater and only three wash programs, while this one has at least six double that if you included with the heater off and different wash temperatures

I'm not sure if this particular model was sold here, but similar models were always around at trade shows. I remember Toshiba selling a compact dishwasher at trade shows. IIRC they sold vacuums too there.
Oh cool
This particular dishwasher is one that I actually like both from a design perspective and of how it’s really simple and very little if any electronics

The Toshiba's were quite simple too. IIRC a timer and a push button, probably for on/off. The Toshiba looked much like a microwave oven with a glass door and lines in the glass.
If possible
I would absolutely love to see a picture of it

I found nothing so far. Well who knows I will come across a picture someday.

Similar to Siltal tabletop dishwashers they sold-made in the 80s named "Siltal sei" but of course different maker and parts
Do you have
Any pictures of it?

You mean of the Siltal?
There should be some paperwork and videos online.
Wait a sec..

Servis Sparkle
It was sold here mid 80's by Servis UK albeit a badged model made by said company in Israel. It connected to cold fill only for a bio profile wash as standard . Then when using cold pre wash you switched the heater off . A neat little unit available in white or brown door trim .

As for the water connection, even though I don't know it I think that having such a big element you can connect it to cold water without problems...
I know Siltal sei units were common to be installed in yachts and or boats.
Perhaps was the same for those...

Oh cool, although there is one small issue with mine,
The heating element appears to be electrically leaking, so I’m wanting to try and find parts for it, would anybody be able to help me?

The hole for the element looks like is the standard size for all the dishwasher elements, guess is a 1800-2000watt one but you can read specifics on the tag.
You can try to measure it and start looking up online for something that fits, chances are you might get something slightly bigger or smaller.
But if it fits and don't touch any moving parts or Internal parts it should work fine anyway.
Check first if the electric leak is not because of a water leak near the connectors or element ends.

I’ll have a bit of a look
At the moment, I know it’s an electrical leak as anything grounded To the same electrical circuit becomes electrically live and I don’t think it would be a water leak, And in regards to the hole for the element I think it actually might be a little bit smaller than the normal size, not sure
