Most dishwashers have a float in the bottom of the tub. Possibly yours is faulty or obstructed in some way? Usually its just a plastic dome float with a electrical micro switch below the water.

Yep.

How do I inspect that? Just ensure it’s clear around it, or pull it off and look underneath/in it?

Make sure you can move it up and down with very gentle force. If the water level is below the bottom of the float, add some water to make sure it rises.
