Can you provide the exact Make, Model and Kenmore model number? Kenmore model numbers use the format ###.######## with the first three digits of 110 for Whirlpool manufactured machines. Without knowing the model number, I'd have to guess that what you are looking at is a method of keeping drained water from flowing back into the washer, also known as a check valve or a one way valve. .
