    Hi there. The sump, also known as the water collector, is the water reservoir that collects and drains waste water from the dishwasher. You can view one here: http://www.espares.co.uk/part/dishwashers/whirlpool/p/1083/278/0/0/702959/dishwasher-water-collecto.html - (NB this isn't necessarily the sump for your model). The sump is located underneath the sieve/drain part at the bottom of the dishwasher, under the bottom cutlery basket. If you clean out the sump and the sump seal, hopefully your dishwasher will begin to drain again. Hope this helps.
