Water Sets In Unit

I've used a flashlight and see no visible problems. Water sets in unit but drains slowly. When the switch is turned on it churnes up the water and bubbles up into the sink. I've tried a toilet plunger but that doesn't work either. Is it safe to pour draino down in the unit? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ThankyouT
