Ran the dishwasher on normal setting and it smelled like something was burning. When it got to 42 minutes left, the minutes never went below 42. I turned it off and water was left in the bottom
This is an interesting problem and it requires some testing equipment to see what the problem is. You have to check the heating coil if it is a washer that heats the water. You also need to check the control board and some other things to see if you can locate the source of the burining smell. To perform these checks requite some test equipment like a meter.

My mother has a neighbour who has a new hotpoint dishwasher which caught fire inside (Plastic on door front melted!).
Please contact Hotpoint - if yours is new, check to see if they can replace immediately otherwise its worth booking the engineer to sort £90 - free parts on machines less than 5 years old.

Check the drain pump. First, manually initiate drain by pressing the second and fourth buttons on the keypad at the same time. If it pumps out, disregard the rest. If it doesn't at least hum, check for power at the motor.
Remove lower rack, lower spray arm, and screens in bottom, remove all water inside. Check for debris under pump cover in bottom of sump. The drain pump suction is through the hole on the left.
Behind the toe panel on the left is the drain motor, If no debris was found inside, the drain pump may have failed. Remove outer door panel (you may need to remove the two screws on the sides of the control panel.) Remove the metal panel across the top of the motor area , disconnect hose in front of pump, disconnect wires to pump, press tab at top of pump and rotate clockwise to remove pump. The impeller could be loose on the motor shaft, or the motor windings failed.

This may be the smell of Varnish used in motor winding. When we turn on the machine it gets heated a little bit resulting in a burning electrical smell.
