The appliance is properly leveled and has been located in the same position since it was originally installed. I've been told that "waves" could possibly be produced by a worn part (shaft seal?) that would cause water to spill over the float switch housing during cycles. The appliance is still doing a good job of cleaning the dishes, pumping out completely, etc. What part(s) would be needed to correct this condition?

First I would remove the float and check/clean it. Sometimes dirt can get in there and wick up water. Next check that all the holes in the spray arm are clear. Sometimes one will partially clog and spray water at a weird angle causing a leak.
