Dishwasher drainage water doesn't drain

Hi,
Does anyone have a quick fix idea for what to do if water sits at the bottom of the dishwasher and does not drain out?
Can you use sink clearing liquid in the dishwasher?

    Depends whats wrong - could be blocked (take a look at the drain hose) could be a faulty pump etc.
  • Thanks Lorian,
    Pump seems OK. Cleaned the filters inside at the bottom. Not lot of water remains but a layer of water that shouldn't be there.
  • Did the machine get turned off before the end of the programme, possibly during the drying cycle? Happened to me once and I found water in the bottom.

    Just turned it on again, let it finish and all was good.
