Yay! Acquired an Ultra Wash!

Congratulations! That's quite a find. The PowerClean/UltraWash models seem rare because those that have them don't want to let go. My dream machine is a 98-02 model WP PowerClean, but haven't been lucky so far. This machine should be easy to fix up and will serve you well for years. Good luck with everything!
All I have to say is wow! I just can't believe how powerful it sounded. My reverse rack isn't exactly what you'd call a dainty machine but you can just tell this is going to get the job done. I still have some detail work to do but so far it's cleaned up very nicely.
Upper rack has quite a few tines broke off, but otherwise the racks are in okay shape. There were quite a few in both racks that were bent but I got them straightened out. I guess that last owner didn't take particularly good care of this gem.
Water-Miser/China-Crystral
I imagine that the Water-Miser button might alter what cams of the timer are used - so it might reduce fills for the rinses. I would also expect that it *might* do something to the water heating - Can you add Water-Heating to ANY cycle, or just some specifics?
China-Crystal would probably cancel out any water heating to protect the items - but if you have just W-R-R, with a 120° water inlet, that would only get you to about 104° at the most, tank-temperature following the fill and circulate (Dependent on Tub/Dish temperature to start).
This cycle may also alter how the rinses are performed by the timer.
The best thing to do would be to try and get some sort of diagram of timer operation with each switch enabled - given that Normal has no connections, then I guess water heating is there by default, without any delayed thermal hold time - so it just heats for "X Minutes," and "Given X Inlet temperature should reach X Target within allotted time."

Excellent score!
I'm glad the solution to the harness issue was hiding in the box all along.
I've heard nothing but glowing reviews for the Ultra Wash system, and am keeping an eye out for one to have ready when the Miele requires outrageously expensive repair.

You mentioned the China and Water Miser button functions----
If you use the delay feature of the DW and push either the China or Water Miser buttons the DW won't start until it progresses thru the dial to those cycles starting points.
I had a DW very similar to that model and 99% of the time I used the Normal w/Water Heat and had great results. You'll be amazed at the performance that machine gives you and you can definitely BobLoad it to boot.
Congratulations on getting a great machine!
