What's Happening
The dishwasher detected too much water — the unit is overfilling. A leaking or stuck-open water inlet valve is the most common cause. A stuck relay on the control board can also keep the valve energized continuously.
How to Fix It
Press the Power button to turn off the dishwasher. Unplug it and check if water continues to fill — if it does, the inlet valve is mechanically stuck and needs immediate replacement. If it stops, the control board relay may be intermittently sticking.
