Whirlpool Quiet Partner II-Water does not fully drain at the end of the cycle.

I have a Whirlpool Quiet Partner II and at the end of the washing cycle, there is soapy water that remains at the bottom of the dishwasher that submerges the heating element. As a result, there is a steam bath of soapy water. I have checked the drain hose at the bottom of the dishwasher and at the garbage disposal and there was not any significant blockage. Any ideas? Thanks for your help!!
