remove the bottom sump hose and use a piece of stiff wire to fish around dragging towards the hole if you need a BIGGER HOLE remove the heater element. If heater removed must be resealed on reassembly to prevent leakage try the first option first.

depends where they are.if it rattles when you turn the drum by hand they could be trapped between front tub which is hard to get to to release.otherwise if they are in the bottom of tub, then removal of the heater will give you limited access.
