Hi guys, I have a kenmore 80 series washer, model 110.27812692. When I turned the unit on, and water starts to fill, I got water all over the floor. So I pried the back off, could not figure out how to disassemble properly. I noticed the hose coming from the water hookups was chewed off near the hookup. So I chopped off the "eaten away part" which has part # 3357328. Then the hose was too short so I ended up mounting the ports kinda sideways, not with hot on top (or was it cold). I literally cut the metal in the back to accomodate the shorter hose since the original hose had a built in 90 degreee turn. anyhow, sounds like a good way to rig it but now the washer overfills. What the heck did I do, does that hose inlet valve have to be mounted in the original orientation, did I unplug a sensor? Thanks all....I appreciate the help in advance.

Lets first take your machine apart the correct way, this link shows you how:
how to access a direct drive washer, pump repair, motor repair, replacing the motor coupler, intalling the cabinate, removing the cabinate, Whirlpool, Inlgis, Kenmore, washers

Ok part#3357328 shows to be the inlet fill hose here:
Manufacturer part number 3357328 is RepairClinic item number 521019
3357328

You have a clear rubber hose that connects to your water level pressure switch from the outer tub assembly, that hose may have come off.

Here's the clear plastic hose for the water level pressure switch:
Manufacturer's Number: 353244




To get access to it:
You would need to open your console as shown here:

Pull forward and up on the console and you can hinge it open and hanging from the hinges.
