So we removed the catch pan, used cave man card board and found at least where the water is coming from. First is the big white plastic thingy. Then its at the front left corner when standing facing the dishwasher. Need the solution to this please.
Follow this steps and fix it. God bless you
Water Inlet Valve
If the dishwasher is leaking water the water
inlet valve might be defective. If the water inlet valve sticks open, it
will allow water to fill the dishwasher continuously. Some customers
report that they see clean water filling the bottom of the dishwasher
after it's been sitting all night or for a couple of days. If this
happens, turn off the water that is supplying the dishwasher. This is
normally a valve under the kitchen sink. Then, replace the water inlet
valve, it cannot be repaired. The water valve needs at least 20 lbs
pressure to shut off properly. If your water pressure is to low
replacing the valve may not solve the problem.
Center Wash Arm Assembly
If the dishwasher is leaking water, the
center wash arm assembly might be cracked or split. This can allow a jet
of water to spray toward the door seal, causing a leak. If a crack or
split in the center wash arm assembly is found, replace it. There isn't
any glue that will hold the part together inside the dishwasher.
Lower Wash Arm Assembly
If the dishwasher is leaking water the lower
wash arm assembly might be defective. If the lower wash arm has a crack
or split on the end, it can force water to spray directly toward the
lower part of the dishwasher door. Then, the water can be forced under
the door and onto the floor. Check the lower wash arm for any cracks or
splits and replace it if necessary. Also make sure the screws are tight
in the wash arm support. If the screws are loose, water can spray out
the side of the pump and cause a leak.
Upper Wash Arm Assembly
If the upper wash arm assembly is broken or
cracked it can cause water to spray very forcefully toward the seams of
the door, causing a leak.
Door Seal
Every dishwasher door has a door seal. If the
dishwasher is leaking water, it might be that the door seal is
defective or worn out. Try closing the dishwasher door on a dollar bill
and see if the door seal is making good contact all the way around the
door. If not, replace the door seal. If the door seal is good or has
been replaced and there is still a leak check the door hinges. If the
hinges are bent the door will not close properly and the hinges will
need to be replaced.
Dishwasher Door Gasket
Every dishwasher door has a door seal. If the
dishwasher is leaking water, it might be that the door seal is
defective or worn out. Try closing the dishwasher door on a dollar bill
and see if the door seal is making good contact all the way around the
door. If not, replace the door seal.

Are you washing cereal bowls or mixing bowls on the bottom rack? If so, are you placing them in front? Sudden leaks that form huge puddles can often be attributed to improper loading of the dishwasher. Most dishwashers don't have a seal across the tub front. The door closes over it and does a pretty good job of deflecting water back inside the wash cavity. However, if you place bowls in the front on the bottom rack rack they can divert the water right over the tub lip and onto the floor. This is usually the culprit that causes most leaks in dishwashers. Now, if you don't think you have a loading problem, remove the kick panel on the bottom of the dishwasher and check the drain line and pump housing for leaks. Check the door gasket for tears or cracks. Lastly, feel inside the bottom of the door with your hand. You should be able to feel the door insulation. If it is wet, then the problem could be a leak around your soap or rinse-aid dispenser. Depending on the model, some dispensers are mounted to the door with a gasket behind it. Sometimes this gasket can form leaks. I hope this helps.

More than likely the filter is clogged,remove the spray arm(there is a threaded cap in the center of the arm twist it to the left,then remove the # 15 or 20 torx(star shaped) screws out of the filter cover(around the edges)The filter is round and runs around the outer edge of the pump housing it lifts right out,clean it and reverse the process.It's the most common issue with not draining on this model.

When this problem happened to our machine, it was simply the pipes under the sink where the dishwasher drain pipe fits were blocked with muck. This was preventing the one way valve connecting the drain hose to the household waste from fully opening thus preventing the machine complete its drain cycle.
Solution was to thoroughly clean the sink drain pipes - plunger, power plunger and then a dose of chemical cleaner. Dishwasher is as right as rain now:)
