The drain hose may be bent too tightly.
If it drains into the disposal, the port on the disposal may be blocked.
If there is an air-gap device (top of sink), it may be clogged.
There could be an internal problem in the dishwasher (drain solenoid
valve/pump, etc.).

Sometimes it's helpful to disconnect the drain hose from the sink
connection, put it in a bucket and *briefly* run the machine.
If still no drainage, the problem is inside the machine.
