Well here it is a year later in APril, and the chopper is clogged again, flipped the checkvalve though it seemed fine. I don't know what is going on with this thing. Any help or suggestions, I really dont want to have to pull this appart every 6 months, though that is cheaper than buying a new one.

It broke when I tried to pull it out. I solved the check valve, a rubber flap. It broke when I tried to pull it out.

The screen was completely clogged and I can't see what keeps the chopper blade against the screen or if it should be. I suspect another problem. The washer seems to have lost power and the top arm has residue in the jets. I don't think it produces enough pressure to the top and suspect the pump impeller is bad but who knows where that is. I can still hear it dump garbage during the cycle but it doesn't dump it all and it ends up on the dishes. You can put in clean dishes and they come out dirty. I have pulled it from the counter niw and will not likely reinstall it even though its only 4 or 5 years old (Kenmore Elite 665-16914) unless there is some reliable fix. This dishwasher used to work great then started leaving residue and the problem just gets worse. I can't solve the check valve riddle. That could be the problem?
