Without me having to unhook and squeeze around this machine so I can lean it back to get under it, can anyone tell me what these wires might be for? Machine seems fine, everything seems to work. Wires themselves seem neatly cut, not frayed or stretched. makes me wonder if they were for some option on this machine that was not installed so they just go nowhere and I don't need to fret. Thanks to all!

You may not even notice it being an issue if you don't use gentle cycle. Now if the white wire is solid white that is the common neutral from the motor and the motor shouldn't run if it is cut, unless the other end is shorted out against metal. I would suggest looking to see what's actually going on for safety purposes.
