If your Haier dishwasher is overflowing, start with the most common cause: a water inlet valve that is stuck open or not shutting off when the tub reaches the proper level. This can lead to dishwasher overflowing, dishwasher overfills with water, or water collecting in the bottom even when the machine is off. Next, check the main control board or control board, since a shorted board can keep sending power to the water inlet valve during the cycle. If the water seems to be coming from the door area, inspect the lower wash arm assembly for cracks that can spray water out and make it look like the dishwasher water level too high. Using the wrong detergent or too much detergent can also create oversudsing and leaking, and a stuck or failed float switch can prevent the dishwasher from shutting the fill off in time.

01 - Haier Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve
The water inlet valve is an electrically-controlled valve that opens to allow water to enter the dishwasher. Depending on the model, the valve stays open either for a set length of time or until the dishwasher has enough water. However, if the water inlet valve doesn’t shut off after the dishwasher has enough water, the dishwasher will overflow. If water drips into the dishwasher when the door is open, or if water collects at the bottom of the dishwasher while it is not use, you may need to replace the water inlet valve.

A dishwasher's main control board provides power to nearly every electrical component in the dishwasher. If the control board continues to send power to the water inlet valve during the drain cycle, the dishwasher could overflow. While this is not that common of a problem, you can inspect the board for signs of burning or a shorted-out component. You can also use a multimeter to test the water inlet valve for incoming power during the dishwasher's cycle.
If the lower wash arm has a crack or split on the side it can cause water to splash out the bottom of the door, giving the impression that the dishwasher is overflowing. Inspect the wash arm assembly for any damage and replace if necessary.
Make sure to use the proper dishwasher detergent. Use the proper amount of detergent for your water hardness; too much soap in soft water can cause oversudsing and leaking.

The float switch actuates in order to prevent the dishwasher from overflowing. If the float switch is defective or stuck, it might not stop the dishwasher from overflowing. If the float switch is defective, replace it.
