What is this?

So my Kenmore gave me a tE error. I fixed it easy enough but out of boredom with the lockdown I thought I’d check the connections on the heat element. Put the machine back together and I’m left with this. I’ve watched numerous videos of the machine being taken apart and can’t figure out where I took this off.

Thanks in advance for any help.

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.
