Direct drive washer. Easy way to tell if it’s a belt drive or direct drive is by the width of the cabinet, if the washer is 29” wide, it’s a belt drive. 27” wide would be a direct drive.

Though, the early 80’s 24” belt drives and direct drive had the same look, which makes identifying them a little tricky, especially when no one gets a picture of the tub or with the lid open.
 
I never understood why Frigidaire stuck with those fat Radiantubes when they were no longer necessary for providing an all over heating pattern with 5 heat position switches once infinite heat switches came along. I can cook on them and accepted the fun challenge of using them for years but they were not the most modern surface units after the early 50s.
