at the end of the cycle, the bottom remains filled with water.

There should be a screen in the bottom that catches a bunch of crap from inside. Check that, it could be blocking the drainage. If not, then you may have a clogged drain pipe I would guess.

I don't know anything about fixing dishwashers, but sounds likes you have a clogged drain pipe.

Tell your wife she should replace her tampon every so often.

You may have heavy water.

Sounds like your "dishwasher" is getting BBC'd while you're at work.

Someone forgot to knock out the plug on the return
Remove the flexible hose and try to put your finger in the hole, you won't be able to
Put a screw driver in there and tap with a hammer until plug is freed

Also should be a check valve inline to prevent backflow.

Get a new dishwasher. They're cheap enough just to toss the old one out. Head down to Home Depot and look around. There are all kinds of dishwashers just standing around outside to pick from.

I had a mystery with water intermittently being in bottom. Replaced the inlet valve ($30) and all is well. 15min job

That sucks, you need to figure out if it's a plumbing problem or mechanical. A new dishwasher might be cheaper than a plumber who tells you to replace the dishwasher.
Tried Draino yet?

disconnect the hose from the disposal, get a bucket and put hose in bucket. Turn dishwasher on and start any cycle. It should run drain pump first. if it does and water comes out under decent pressure, then you likely have an issue in the disposal or the plumbing.
If the pumped water is trickling then you have a restriction on your pump or a clog. You can clear the line with a small snake or a shot of compressed air.
On most dishwashers you can clean the area at the base and get to the impeller. You may have to remove some screws. Some dishwashers have a separate drain pump and on many of these you can't get to the impeller of that pump, only the main pump.
At worst you need a new pump and that is cheaper than a new dishwasher for sure.
Another thing you need to check for is that at some point in the run of the drain pipe it needs to be ran at a level higher than the lowest part of the sink tub. This prevents backflow.
Do the bucket test, that at least gets you in the right direction. It's what I would do first, I run it onto a wet vac.

My Bosch did this about a year ago. It was the pump. Repair was about $250 IIRC.

I had this same issue a month ago. I did all the things on here that were recommended. Ended up calling Sears to send out a technician, who told me it's the pump. You can buy the part for $50 and switch it out yourself, look it up on YouTube it's fairly simple.

Mine did this about 6 months ago. The pump was fine but can be ordered from Amazon. The was clogged and needed to be cleared. It drains fine now.

Did you lose power while it was running?

Screen, drain line to disposal or blockage at disposal. Check all and clean. Once done, start rinse cycle, then watch pump drain to through pipe to disposal. If not, you'll need to check the pump.
