Usually
there must be a filter screen in the dishwasher which can cause this to
happen. It goes to the drain . If there is accumulation of food
particles in the dishwasher filter screen then draining may be
obstructed which can cause the water to be stranded at the bottom.
Usually the filter
is located at the back of the dishwasher near the drain. It is usually
held in position by means of clips. You can just pop it out.Pour some
hot water in the drain and clean the drain line also.
If after cleaning this filter also you are facing the problem of water not draining then the drain pump must have gone bad.

if it is taking to long to drain then this is a sign that something is plugging up the drain line.
remove the drain plug and clean the drain screen -- this will be right next to the pump body.
as soon as it is clear, the machine should be draining great.
if you are still having troubles after you clean the drain line -- then there could be a problem with the drain pump and it might need to be replaced,,,, but clean the line first as this is the most common problem.
remove the lower front panel, at the lower right side unscrew the drain pump screen(get some towels),clean screen and make sure pump inside is clean also, screw it back in and test washer.
It will be smelly water and if you have access to a shop vac that will help you remove the standing water if not use a bowl or turkey blaster listed below.
Use a small bowl to remove standing water from washer to access screen to remove and check for blockage. Once you have removed all the water that you can with a bowl or cup. You can use a turkey blaster to sucton remaining water from dishwasher.
Then you remove screen and clean out drain and also check drain line for blockage from dishwasher to under sink.
Clean out drain to unclog in bottom of dishwasher and you may have to remove drain line to clean it.
The bottom of your dishwasher should have a big screen in the bottom that covers the drain. The screen and the drain may need cleaning. They can get clogged with grease and stuff over time. I would recommend taking out the screen and cleaning it with soap and water, cleaning out the drain if there is anything in it, and then running the dishwasher with a dishwasher cleaner solution.
on all dishwasher think of them as a simple gutter system. the water only has one drain. At the bottom, if the pump can't pump out the water, its simply a bad pump or a clogged drain hose. Food particle can clog the "drain screen", use a good quality shop vac, clean 'drain screen', remove drain hose and clean thoroughly. If the hose goes into your drain pipe, remove that and clean that really good with snake it its metal or a strong 1/2 zip tie if its plastic.
