A small amount of clean water in the sump can be normal, but a visible pool covering the bottom after the cycle means the drain stage did not finish correctly.

You do not need the part name before you ask for help
Describe the appliance and what it is doing in plain language. A repair provider can ask the technical questions after the conversation starts. The website should make that first step easier, not create another checklist that delays the call.
