Need Some Help Identifying Dishwasher

[phillymatt53]

Hi guys, I hope someone on here can help me out.
A good friend of mine has a Hotpoint dishwasher, likely late-70's or early 80's model.
It was in the condo since he bought it in 1999, and the condo was built in the 1970's.
Recently, my friend told me that it was leaking, and a repairman told him the front door seal needed replacing, but he never got back to my friend about it.
Since I don't have any info on servicing it, I asked him to give me a model number at least.
He phoned me and gave me the only number he could find - 206C1513P001.

I'd appreciate some help with this if possible, like tracking down a door seal, hopefully a source for one, and/or some service info or tips.
Thanks in advance.
Matt

The model & serial number for the machine are on a small plate on the inside of the door opening, usually on the left side. Once you have the model number, go to repairclinic.com or searspartsdirect.com. Using the model number, you can search for the part # and availability. If the dishwasher was built late enough into the 70's, it may share many parts with GE dishwashers of the day. If that's the case, then the door seal is most likely available. Good luck and keep us posted.
