It sounds like it could be a problem with the dishwasher drain hose. This article should help you out! https://removeandreplace.com/2017/10/09/water-coming-into-dishwasher-when-off-dishwasher-fills-with-water-how-to-fix/
You didn't just put in a new garbage disposal did you. Because most dishwashers drain through the garbage disposal. there is a plug in the disposal that you have to knock out
No I did not replace garbage disposal, but I will have it checked.
Is the dishwasher newly installed? if so maybe just an installation problem. but if you have had it for a while and this is a new problem. You may have a back up further down the line.
Make sure the drain hose for the dishwasher is elevated above where it connects to the drain. It may have just fallen. In the mean time you should have a cancel/drain button on the dishwasher. This will drain the water.
