Default Stuck Check Ball?

Hi everyone - I am a new Kegerator owner - a Danby. I am having a problem getting a flow. I have searched just about every post and have found some tips I will try this evening. Here is the deal -
After hooking everything up, I get a burst of foam, followed by just a trickle of foamy beer. Then the trickle even stops, and just drips.
The specifics:
Keg - Coors light. Refrigerated for a few days before tapping.
Temp - Digital Thermomter reads 38 degrees F. I will put a thermometer in a glass of water tonight as suggested.
CO2 pressure - brand new tank. First I set the psi between 10 and 12 as directed in the instructions. I have since set to 14. I have also tried other settings with not much luck.

I have retapped several times. I have checked both the air and beer lines several times.

When I take the lines off of the coupler, the Check Ball falls right out into my hands. And, when I removed the lines, the check ball seemed to be stuck at the very end of the Probe (the piece of the coupler that the beer line attaches to).

SO - any help or advice is appreciated. I am going to try removing the check ball and see if that works. I am wondering if there is no 'check ball retainer' as shown in the coupler diagrams on this site.
