Kenny,

That dryer would be the Hotpoint version mate to your free Filter Flo.

GM or Imposter ?

Can't remember if all GM's had the 5 stage Rocket icon on the water lever plate; this one doesn't and the panel is scratched up before the word Frigidaire, maybe to trick us ;'D

Going with Imposter, but I could be wrong, and the location is doable.

Front panel shot, along with the GM moniker next to "FRIGIDAIRE", give it away.

You have better eyes, Ben; even blown up I can't see the GM.

Thank you.

So that meme about the pic of the 5 stage pulsator on the water lever as exclusively on GM's is not true. Good to know.

I'll get out the mega magnifier and celebrate when I see GM. Listen for the hooting ;'D

Ben, does this vintage--I'm assuming it's a later model--have the full, long spray rinse after the wash? Heard that at some point they shortened it, or eliminated the one after the rinse.

This looks to be a 1975 W2 model. Looking at the timer charts the '75 models show two increments of spray rinse before the spin stops for fill of the rinse cycle.

The 1970 S line and 1979 B/G manuals show the same increments allotted for the spray rinse, with the 1970 models having a 72 second increment/pulse, and the 75/79 having the 100 second increment/pulse. The change to 100 second increments look to have started with the 1972 T line models.

Thanks, Ben ~

I appreciate both the clarity and the reassurance that no matter what timer-advance increment any given model happens to have, the operator enjoys 144 or 200 seconds of 12 jet circle spray,
a boatload of water either way, making for extravagant and sensational spray rinsing, one of the secrets to the GM 1-18's exemplary performance.

I've made the contact, receiving my first, huge, powder-blue Facebook Marketplace thumbs-up icon a few days ago, nothing however since; will keep you posted.
