You may have a drain line restriction causing it to back up. Pull the drain hose up about 6 inches and try it again. If it does overflow again, you will need to call a plumber to clear the drain line out in your plumbing.

SOURCE: attached hoses and they are

Turn off the water supply to the machine and remove the water supply hose(s) from both the machine and the supply taps (US=faucets).

Check that there is a rubber sealing washer in the each end of all hoses and that each washer is undamaged. If the washer is missing then chack on both the supply tap and on the machine inlet connection as it could have got stuck on those items when you disconnected. If any washers cannot be found or are damaged, then replace them. They only cost pennies from any DIY/hardware/plumbing store.

Reconnect the hose(s) and tighten by hand. If you use a wrench it can overtighten and distort or split the sealing washer. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks, if there are any then tighten any leaking connections a bit more by hand.

Other things to check are for split or damaged hoses (unlikely), split or damaged tightening collars on the hoses, or cross-threaded collars. If there is any doubt about the hoses themselves or the connector collars, then replace them. Also check that the leak isn't from the supply taps themselves. If so, then they either need to be replaced, serviced or removed and refitted to the supply pipes. If you find it is a supply tap problem and you need assistance with that issue then please report back for more guidance if you need it.

Note that there is absolutely no need nor benefit in applying PTFE plumbers tape to the hose connection threads. The washer is what does the sealing, and as the hose collars are plastic they're not going to corrode onto any metal supply taps.
