So help a Filtrator-ignorant person...
Okay, so if, in the fifties, Frigidaire's Filtrators had the little pull-drawer, where did that go in this model? What did that drawer do, anyhow? I thought I understood (roughly) how the Filtrator design was supposed to work, but I'm thinking I don't get the whole idea. (Sorry, I don't mean to revisit something that I'm sure has been explained before--but I appreciate the information!) :-) | ||

electric has been explained, but not gas. I didn't think a codensor dryer could be done in gas. | ||

here's the skinny on the mini David, a closer look would show that she's not wearing a mini-skirt at all,but a house apron over capri -like pants. I still think the ad is 1963 or 1964. But thanks for your post. You were right on about the trends. | ||

DCIFK = Dryer Custom Imperial Filtrator and K is the model year, 1966. The model pictured is an air-flow dryer, the Filtrator model worked on similar principle as the earlier Filtrators, cool air moved over an aluminum tube cartridge which caused the hot, moist air in the dryer to condense & cool inside the tubes where the moisture was drained into a water tray at the bottom of the dryer. "Self-Draining" is a little misleading as the dryer either needed to be drained into a floor drain or a special attachment for the washer drain hose would siphon the condenser water from the dryer when the washer drained. These later Filtrators were a little better at removing the moisture from the drum air because they had a circulation fan that kept the air moving through the filtrator unit and returning it to the drum through the heating element. | ||
