Was this Whirlpool dryer made with a matching washer?

[maytaga806]

Hello all, I just had a question regarding this model dryer I have. I was told it was a 1990 model, but with this style control panel with the straight pattern lines for “style”, I’ve never seen a matching washer with the same matching control panel as my dryer has. I’ve seen the black ones and the clean touch ones but never this.

If anyone knows if this machine was produced with a matching washer let me know, just curious that’s all. I’ll post the model number and several photos below. Thanks!!

1990 model-year.

Serial 40th week (Oct 28 - Nov 2) of 1992.

There was an LA8860XWQ washer, which would be a reasonable match per the model.

Electric dryer version is LE8860XWQ vs. gas being LG8861XWQ.

Yes

There was a matching washer, WP called these Control panels with the lines the Corduroy Look.

They must be super rare, cause I cannot find a photo anywhere of a matching set.

I’m pretty sure I have the matching washer. Picked it up for parts as I believe it’s been out of operation for quite some time. It’s the extra large=standard capacity version with the dual action agitator.

Repairguy....

Can you post a photo of it in here? I’ll be able to tell if it is or isn’t I just wondered and was curious because I’ve never seen a photo of a matching one to the dryer.
