Hi Kevin, it would be extremely unusual for a dishwasher of that vintage to use a 12 volt light bulb. Do you have the original bulb and was 12 volts? 12 Volt bulbs would be more common in a DC circuit, but there is no reason in a 1950's dishwasher for Hotpoint to spend the money (in parts) of converting the power from AC to DC just for a pilot light. What kind of light bulb socket does it have (bayonette or screw base) and do you have the wiring diagram? |

Definetly needs a 120V bulb. Try your local hardware store or Appliance parts distributor. |
