My neighbours dishwasher filled up so that when she opened the door
there
was a few inches of water ready to flood her kitchen floor.

I reckon it is a sensor fault. I dug about on the internet, and it
suggests it is a flow meter that tells the machine how much water is in
there.

could even be the same machine)

How does the flow meter tell how much water is in there?

Time plus flow is volume.

or I am barking up the wrong tree?

so how does it know when to stop measuring the flow?

It knows when it has turned the flow on and off.
