Finally got the impeller screw out and removed the screen. I removed a penny and several pieces of glass. I noticed 2 white plastic balls under the screen floating in the undrained water. They are smaller than a marble. Are they part of the assembly? Are there any gotcas when I put it back together? Does the screen assy go on a certain way? Thanks!

the balls are ceck balls they do have to be there! As long as the screw hole line up on the screen part you should be ok.

Do the balls have to be installed in a certain place? As I said they were floating in the left over water and I really can't tell when I look at the parts breakout.
Thanks again.

Here is a picture of the breakdown. The check balls go under #4 on the picture. Nat libertyappl attached the following image(s):

Nat,
I thought it was fixed. The grinding stopped but it isn't draining all the way after the cycle. I used to be able to press cancel and it would drain. After the cycle the bottom was almost completely full of water and after I pressed cancel it cleared some but not all of it. When I put the check balls in I placed them in number 4 which basically looks like a reservoir and they are trapped there by part #9. Is it possible I've placed the check balls in the wrong location. It really isn't draining much at all and that is a new development.
Thanks,
Mike

Check you drain lines too they may have some debris in them as well.

I see you are the one to come to with ceck ball issues! I have taken apart my dishwasher and I found the problem (the spring came loose), I have fixed the initial problem, however, I'm not sure where the ceck balls go. (as they were just floating when I took the cover off) There are 2 ceck balls. Do they both go in the reservoir looking part? (#4 in a diagram I have seen you use before)? (My Kenmoore is 665.17772990)

Nat reading this two plastic ball issue this may explain alot with my dishwasher: model 665.1569992 last spring I took it apart to completly remove all the calcium deposits, and it had been sitting idle for 6 months. when I took it apart there where these two little balls sitting in that oval hole in the diagram where it shows parts #5 and 7 go. I thought they where debris, and tossed them away. I know know they where part of the check valve. So can I get replacements? if so , where, and how much. Also how do they work?? I mean what do they do? float when full? and what is happening actually when they are not there? my main problem is not enough water pressure to turn upper arm, water comes out of top and arm holes but not enough to do any cleaning, is the ball absence the problem? or is the low water level a problem of thown away balls? (both as cuase and effect?). "sometimes I know enough to make me dangerous"
