Looks like a Frigidaire door to me.
WCI Fri-GE-Gib-More.
Could be....
Hupp acquired Gibson then merged with White Westinghouse. Later WCI would nab Frigidaire and IIRC front loaders and matching dryers were sold under both "Gibson" and "Frigidaire" names.
Electrolux bought WCI thus now owns Gibson brand name.

Gibson was acquired by WCI in 1967, while Westinghouse appliance division didn't become part of WCI until 1975.
Frigidaire front load washer, 1997 through 2011
Frigidaire built millions of these machines, very high, build quality and pretty good durability.
Weak spots were early spider, corrosion and breakage main bearings and now that some age is it cumulating all of the shocks seem to all lose their shocking ability. Bad shocks can lead to broken timers door, lock, assemblies, and other damage to the machine from out of balance loads.
They only made machines with the rear control panels, for a few years, these were also sold with a Kenmore name on them. In addition to several others that were already mentioned.
Us service guys refer to this as the small door Frigidaire. We’re still repairing a lot of them every month.
