It will be underneath the machine but its impeller blades will very probably be right at the very bottom of the sump on the inside - often covered with a small plastic cover held in place with a single Torx screw.

The blades sometimes jam up with lemon pips and other debris and stall the drain pump motor. The impeller blades should rotate freely but with a bit of magnetic resistance.
