Pieces of broken glass have an annoying habit of finding their way into the drain pump or circulation pump. If it won't empty/start check if the drain pump is blocked. Post the full model details if you require more information
I had a look at it today it's a hotpoint aquarius fdw60 model When put on prewash it seems to fill up ok then when finished it just doesn't drain and there is water in the bottom of it.
I took it out and gave it a hoseing back through the drain pipe to see if I might be able to clear something, but it still has the same problem.
I have a feeling the pump is knackered or jammed.
Does this model have 2 pumps?

It has a drain pump and a circulation pump (wash motor).
Since you say a glass was broken in there recently l would suspect a small piece of glass has found its way into the drain pump & is jamming the impellor. This happens often & the machine won't pump out when it occurs. You will probably have to remove the drain pump to clear the obstruction. Lie the machine on its back & remove the base plate, this gives you access to most components. The drain pump is the small electric motor on the right hand side of the sump.
Power & water supply turned off first

I had it opened up on it's side and took the drain hose connection with one screw off and checked for blockage and I couldn't see any but I didn't check the pump as I did'nt think anything could get past filters ie bits of glass etc.
Should have checked pump while there eh
