Overflow — the anti-flood float has tripped

Standing water in the base sits beside mains connectors — keep the dishwasher unplugged while drying the tray.
Unplug the dishwasher and check the base tray for standing water that has floated the anti-flood switch and latched E4
Trace the sump, spray-arm feed, and hose fittings for a drip that fills the base slowly during the wash
Verify the inlet valve closes fully by watching whether water keeps entering after the fill target is reached
Dry the base tray completely and reseat the float, then run a rinse and watch where water first reappears
Replace a cracked sump seal or hose clamp, or the inlet valve if it fails to shut off
Pro Diagnostic Tip
Haier anti-flood systems latch E4 until the base is dry, so the code often persists for a cycle after the leak is fixed — towel the base tray dry before deciding the float itself has failed.
