Bosch model wfmc640suc/03.  I removed the water pump to locate a drain plugging issue.  Resolved that, but in replacing the door lock, there is an approximate 2 ft long flexible plastic piece hanging below the lock. When removing the pump, I didn’t see where the end of the plastic piece came from.  Was wondering if you could help me locate where the end of this piece goes to.

That is the manual release cord for the door lock and on the side of the drain pump, there should be a metal clip that the cord attaches to. It there so that you can access the cord from the pump cleanout area on the washer. If you don’t see a clip you can just tape it to the side of the pump. If you ever need to manually unlock the door you just pull that cord.
