More details about where, when, how (and how much), etc., might be useful.
I'd check easy things like the drain hose, to make sure it's not clogged. But the most likely thing is that the filter cup has gotten clogged or the drain pump is dead.

To check out: Get a wet/dry shop vac. Hook it up to the drain hose to suck the water out of the machine and save a lot of mess.
Remove the bottom front panel. The drain pump on my Duet is front center bottom... easy to get to. There's a plastic handle to unscrew if I recall correctly, which brings out a sort of plastic cup filter. You might find enough change to buy yourself a cup of coffee. Clean it out. If it wasn't really clogged up, the problem is either something stuck in a hose, or a failing/failed pump. Check the hoses first; if it's not them, I'd order a new pump.

Check hose and clean hose for possible lint build up. When you remove the lint it should drain faster. this happens when you wash alot of towels and bedspreads.

You do not say how much standing water is left in the machine. It is usual for there to be some standing water in front loader washing machines. That's why if you close the front door they start to smell.
After you have used the machine you should wipe dry the door and rubber seal, to prevent residue build up. Then push the door to, do not close tightly. This allows the water inside to evaporate and escape, and you will not need to use the front loading washing cleaner to get rid of the smell. from the machine. If the door is closed tightly the water remains trapped ion the machine.

Water leaking out of soap dispenser?

Disconnect first the mains, power plug off the wall. You could have a clog in your soap drawer; pull the dispenser drawer completely out. There is a tab that needs to be depressed to release the drawer to remove. Clean the soap drawer with an old tooth brush. The usual block could be old soap, softener, etc. (you could also be using too much soap powder). I usually use just above 125ml (my measure cup says ml, I use front loader powder for the 5.5kg load) The wash is very gud. This is the normal issue that will cause water to leak out of the dispenser housing.
Wash the dispenser drawer thoroughly with warm water. Make sure that you pull off the siphon covers and wash all siphon holes. This process is described in your owner's manual. Next could be one of hoses has become loose, should be re-fixed. Examine by removing top of the front loader; this will give you a gud view of the pipes.If helped, click.

It has a horrible odor. Also the little door on the left bottom front of the machine holds water. How do you keep the water (stinking) from standing in that area?

Front loaders are known for building up mold and the smell.
It's caused by using liquid detergent which is made from animal fat. Use powder. And use the minimum amount.
It's caused by using fabric softener. Dilute it 50/50 with water.
It's caused by the water remaining in the tub between washes. Leave the door open to allow it to dry. .
Pull the rubber door seal back and clean the mold off .
Affresh is recommended by some manufacturers. You run it through a wash cycle with it.

If the standing water is your fabric softener you'll have to clean it out to unstop it so it will drain.
Here's a DIAGRAM which may help with the cleaning.

What do ie stand for on a lg front loader

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France, Friday afternoon 14:28,

'ie' on LG's stands for Inlet Error , in other words water feed.
Check that the taps are on, check that the hoses are not kinked, check that the washer has not been pushed so far back and against the hoses that they are squashed.
If all OK then probably the water inlet control valve is malfunctioning and requires replacement ;-0(
Good luck,

Kenmore 3.5 frnt loader always has inches of H20 in rubber gasket

does your model start with 417? if so then there is a new door gasket that will help with water left in the boot.
if you have 110, then there is no new gasket/ boot...
you need to clean the drain pump sump screen.
either unit will have a clean out screen that is a removable cover on the front of the pump and it allows you to unscrew the sump filter and clean it out.

Smell

this is a common problem with all front loaders. you need to manually clean the boot, rubber seal, with bleach and water but when done with that you need to put 1 1/2 cups of bleach in the soap dispeners, run a hot wash with no clothes after that run another rinse to be sure all the bleach is out of washer. inbetween washes, leave washer door open (best) or cracked if no room to leave it open
