F&P Dishdrawer not fully draining?

I have a single dishdrawer, and recently replaced the pump & cleaned out all the hoses. Generally all goes well now, but usually have an amount of (rather dirty) water left in the bottom at the end of each cycle. If I manually scoop it out, the same happens. If I leave it there, then the next cycle seems to be even worse. Often dishes are not washed very clean.

I had a similar problem and the cause was a blockage at the outlet hose. Sometimes the machine would empty but then other times it would leave water behind. The engineer took out the machine and disconnected the drain hose and sure enough there was debris. After cleaning, the machine is now draining fine. I should add that there were no error codes showing on the display.

Your explanation not very clear & raises more questions. You say that you replaced the pump. With a brand new one or what? Did it leave water behind before replacing the pump & cleaning the hoses or has it started since then? What hoses did you clean out? If you removed the drain hose from the sump did you make sure the non return flap was in place when you put the hose back?
