Overflow — water level above maximum

Unplug the washer and watch whether water keeps entering the drum after the fill target, which points at a stuck inlet valve
Inspect the inlet valve for grit holding it open, cleaning or replacing it if it will not seat
Check the pressure hose from the tub to the level sensor for a kink or trapped water giving a false low reading
Blow gently through the disconnected pressure hose to confirm it is clear end to end
Replace the level sensor if the hose is clear yet the drum overfills before the control reacts
Pro Diagnostic Tip
Hisense reads level through a pressure hose, so an E4 with a normal water line usually means a blocked or kinked pressure tube reading low and letting the valve overfill — check the tube before the valve.
