A shallow pool of water in the sump is normal on this platform and keeps the seals wet; a filled tub is not. That distinction saves a lot of unnecessary calls on Cafe dishwashers.
Owners can safely clean the filter assembly, clear the spray arm holes and check that the drain hose has its high loop. If water genuinely will not clear, turn the dishwasher off at the breaker before anyone investigates the pump area, and leave the pump, the drain solenoid and the control to a technician.
