A dishwasher not turning off can be caused by a faulty timer, a broken door switch, or an electrical issue with the control board. Check the timer first; if it's stuck, replacing it might solve the issue. Next, inspect the door switch to ensure it’s functioning correctly and making proper contact. If both are fine, the problem may reside in the control board, which could require professional repair.
