Visiting a Lowe's today, there is a Whirlpool frontload washer with a TIMED DRY button.  I don't know the model number.  I didn't take a photo.  I asked the sales girlie, she said it's a dryer.  Nope, it's a washer, see here, the detergent and softener dispenser drawer and the Drain & Spin button, a dryer would not have a Drain & Spin function.  She, confused, went to check documentation somewhere, probably at Lowe's website, came back and said there's nothing about a Timed Dry button.

The matching dryer was sitting atop it, also with a Timed Dry button in the same position on the button array.

Did I find a factory production line foul-up, the wrong button overlay on it?

Only a guess but aren't there now washer/dryers that connect to each other so after a wash cycle and depending on what cycle you used, it would automatically set up the dryer cycle. Maybe the "timed dry" button is to negate that so you can set the dry cycle yourself?

Dual options on the TOL front loader

12-Hour FanFresh® Option

Keep clothes fresh for up to 12 hours after the wash cycle has ended. A built-in fan activates after the wash cycle is over, tumbling clothes for up to 12 hours so you can finish laundry when you're ready.

 

Wash and Dry Option

Let the washer keep laundry moving for you by adding this option to select wash cycles. After washing ends, it uses hot air to tumble dry clothes right in the washer.4

 

Whirlpool is using the exhaust of the dryer to heat the washer by a deflector valve or something.

 

Anyway, the online reviews on the Whirlpools website are a no go for me.

One of my YouTube influencers had a Whirlpool appliance nightmare. All of his brand-new appliances broke down.

Bob, I don't think it's a combo, the price didn't register to my attention as high enough unless it's mis-labeled.  The Timed Dry selection is on the bottom of the array of center black buttons, I believe in the same position as on the dryer stacked atop of it.  There may be an opportunity to get photos in about 3 weeks.

Joe thank you. Link to that product was included in my reply #3. I've know about that product since almost the beginning of this current generation release 2-3 years ago.

I had intended to get photos today of the mysterious washer with Timed Dry but we went to a different Lowe's ... that didn't have any Whirlpool frontloaders on display.  :-(
