I would love to see this in a new home, it is German built, it has all electro-mechaneal controls and it works.
I have a whole box of extra parts.

Oh my, that is a beauty!
I notice there appear to be no water temp options. Does it have a heater that comes on if the incoming water is below a set temp or is it just whatever the hot water is?
Thanks,
Jim

Mid 90s KA International Collection DW
Hi Jim, Yes this differently heats the water, KA briefly sold these in the 90s along with several different cook-tops and smaller European built wall ovens, they all pretty much flopped here the DWs were the worst.
Every time we got a service call on the IC DWs WP just gave the customer a new TOL American built KA DW and scraped the German model.
So one long rainy weekend I took three of these scraped IC DWs up to out weekend house and made one good one out of them. I installed it in the utility room mainly to wash very dirty and greasy pots and pans along with the parts from the Jenn-Air electric built-in grille.
This DW is almost silent in operation and has very long cycles. It does manage to get things clean looking, but the mess that is left in the filter in the bottom is disgusting, also like many European DWs it is smaller inside and the racking is not conducive for washing pots and pans. I am going to just put a standard tub Power-Clean DW in its place.
If I had more space in the Wall-Of-DWs at the museum I might keep it but I think that someone else might have fun with it.

That dishwasher is a relabeled Bosch.
