Standing water in the dishwasher is usually a drain problem, and it is often easy to solve. Here is the Beaumont guide.
The filter
Most dishwashers have a filter at the bottom that clogs with food debris. Cleaning it is the first and most common fix.
The air gap
If your sink has a small chrome cylinder next to the faucet, that is the air gap. Debris inside it blocks the drain line.
The drain hose
A kinked or clogged hose, or one that is not looped high enough, stops draining. hard water is common, and summer heat and shifting soils put pressure on underground lines In Beaumont, the high loop under the sink matters.
The disposal
If the dishwasher drains through the garbage disposal, a new disposal's knockout plug may not have been removed, or the disposal may be clogged.
