There is no such thing as a gas dishwasher. Preway did make a gas dishwasher in the early 1960's, but those are long gone.

SPETTACOLARE!
If you found the gas cheaper than the electricity to heat water, why don't we use it?!? As you have do do washing-up at least twice aday... i think it's a great saving...
Ah, if it were like that for the washers either!
Bye

PS: I sincerely am thinking to swich my dishwasher inlet to the hot water faucet, providing heated water from a solar-board boiler... here we have a lot of sunny days, why don't use it!? Unfortunately this is not possible for the washer... ah blast!

US diswhashers ARE ALWAYS connected to the HOT tap.
Is there some mysterious benefit to using cold to start?
I'm thinking gas flames and a plastic DW tub may not be a good combination! LOL

Does the offering say GAS?
Did I miss something AGAIN?

I'm guessing gas is inferred, 'cause the text says don't need it switched to electric.
Geeeeze.
Geeeeze.
I wrote the seller...
...to let him know that, outside of "a rare 1960s model from a long-out-of-business manufacturer" (the Preway), there was no such thing as a gas dishwasher and that any water heating for a sanitary cycle or temperature boost option was supplied by the heating element in the sump.
I did not receive a response, but he did revise the description. Not to pick on the guy, but could the "gas" just be a product of mental flatulence?
It can happen even to the best of us.

A Change
Good Work Gentlemen......The 'lister' changed the listing so that it does not state....'GAS DISHWASHER'. Perhaps the gas was a by-product of something else not on Ebay! After all, it is stated that it can happen to the best of us.
Brrrr in CT.

That Preway used a spark plug to light the burner in the combustion tube under the stainless steel tank. The washarms were on the right and left sides of the tank, so you had to load dishes so that the were tipped toward the arms. After that final 180F rinse, a motor opened the door a couple of inches so that the dishes could flash dry. It was honestly the answer to the question never asked except that the Gas Appliance Manufacturers' Association could claim to have a gas dishwasher. Well, it still needed electricity.
Pics of above-referened DW would be so cool!
Thanks Tom for the schpiel (sp?). Learned a great deal.

Mi sembrava strano...
I was surprised too of a gas-dishwasher!)
Now the changed description could not make anyone mistake again...
Steve, here in Italy I mean, is not usual to accumulate hot water, as can happen often there in US or in some other countries of the Europe, to be used for anything you need, from laundry to shower.
For those who haven't electric water heater (used only where there's not a gas pubblic line, because of their high electric consumes) we have one gas-heater ("caldaia a gas") which produce hot water "instantaneally", as you switch on any hot faucet of the house.
Although that, the appliances as washers and dishwashers, are both connected only with cold water, as they have only one inlet valve; they increase temperature electrically, and this is possible thanks to the built-in heater at 2000W/16A to 240V/50Hz wiring.
SUN! This is a real energy producer, I'm thinking of putting on my house-roof a solar-board to get hot water with sun irradiation! And than accumulate it...
Now it's snowing... but spring and summer are very sunny!!!

ah cool. Thank you
We tend to use hot water from the hot tap for our appliances.
Frequently in this country the house's hot water is produced by burning gas or oil, and so is much less expensive to create/produce than electrically heated water.
