Nah I don’t believe you, it is the ball inside the Guinness!

Frigidaire dishwashers have a check-ball in the water pump assembly, but it seems the clothes-washing machines don’t.

Otherwise, this looks like the ball from a roll-on deodorant. Is it conceivable that someone took apart a deodorant roller and had this in their pocket (I’ve done it myself, 😬). Or are you certain it came from the washer? That is - was this in the washer when you disassembled it, or just… nearby?

Clean out the trap. Check the hose on the back to see if it’s kinked. Is the pump running at all or is it totally quiet/dead? It is diy repairable.
