Dishwasher overfills or keeps filling (water near the door or on the floor)

Normal fill is only an inch or two in the sump area. Overfill is either the inlet valve not closing (debris, scale, failed valve) or the control not being told to stop (float stuck or float switch failed, flow meter fault). Separate them by cutting power while it is overfilling. Suds can also look like overfill; rule them out first.
