How to tell the differences between certain models

C-Series and A-Series with black graphics (both standard and express)

Both machines look extremely similar to each other. There are two major differences that make it easy to tell the difference. The first difference is on the C-Series machines, they use seven digit vacuum flourescent displays (VFD) with upright 12-segment characters while the A-Series machines only have four digit VFD displays with italicized 7-segment characters. The second difference is the A-Series has words posted next to the load capacity unlike the C-Series. Examples include "LARGE 🧺 x 6", "SMALL 🧺 x 2", etc.

A-Series and V-Series (both standard and express)

Both machines look fairly similar to each other. There are two major differences that make it easy to tell the difference. The first difference is that the V-Series lacks a stop button and has the coin slot closer to the right edge of the machine unlike the A-Series. The second difference is the completely different cycle selection system. The A-Series uses plastic microswitch buttons with red LED indicators above the buttons showing the cycle selected. They have cold, warm, and hot cycles and have a start button on the leftmost button. The V-Series on the other hand copies the older cycle selection technology of the N-Series and WCE/WCK machines. The biggest thing is the lack of a start button, similar to the two previous generation machines. The cycle selection uses rocker switches like the older machines and has a white plastic indicator above the cycle button showing the cycle selected. It has a hot cycle, two warm cycles, and a cold cycle like the N-Series and WCE/WCK machines.

N-Series and WCK machines

Both series of machines look almost identical. The only difference is the WCK machines have the older Dexter logo with the 'D' with water in it while the N-Series machines only have the italicized Dexter word mark.
