    Abstract: A method includes receiving a user input comprising a timed dry cycle selection, and activating a timed dry cycle in response to the user input. The timed dry cycle is configured to operate for an amount of time. The method also includes determining a notification window of the timed dry cycle before activating the timed dry cycle, activating the heating system of the dryer appliance during the timed dry cycle of the dryer appliance, calculating a drying time to reach a pre-determined dryness threshold, comparing the calculated drying time to a remaining time of the timed drying cycle, and providing a user notification when the calculated drying time exceeds the remaining time of the cycle.

    Abstract: A system and method for cleaning context detection and appliance operation are provided. The system includes a first appliance communicatively coupled to a second appliance to receive and transmit signals therebetween. The first appliance and the second appliance each include a controller configured to execute operations. The operations include receiving, at the first appliance, a first control signal corresponding to executing a cleaning mode at the first appliance; transmitting, from the first appliance, a second control signal to the second appliance, the second control signal corresponding to a cleaning state; and generating, at the second appliance, a third control signal corresponding to executing the cleaning mode at the second appliance.

    Abstract: A washing machine appliance includes a cabinet, a tub, a wash basket, a motor, a pump, and a controller. The wash basket is rotatably mounted within the tub. The motor is configured to rotate the wash basket within the tub. The pump is configured to drain fluid from the tub. The controller is in operative communication with the pump and the motor and may direct a primary spin and drain cycle, which includes an initial drain of the tub prior to a first spin cycle. The controller may further receive a supplemental spin and drain cycle request, identify a drain omission condition of the washing machine appliance, and perform a spin and drain cycle without the initial drain of the tub following identifying the drain omission condition of the washing machine appliance. A method of directing a washing machine appliance to perform supplemental spin and drain cycles is also disclosed.
