What is this?

Can someone identify this part please? I have a matching dryer that the part could be from, but I doubt it. I'm not even 100% certain it's off our washer, but it sure looks suspicious. The design looks like it hooks to something and the spring applies tension to possibly seal something. I am suspect of it because the bottom of the washer is exposed. Any help would be appreciated. This thing is not even 2 years old.

Thanks

ADMIN- Maybe move this to the Maytag section? Sorry if I messed that up.
