I cleaned dishwasher with half gallon of vinegar and ran a rinse cycle which shut off when completed.
Then I ran a wash cycle. It seemed to run forever again. I opened door and the water looked cloudy from the dishwasher detergent I was using. So I canceled wash cycle and ran another wash cycle without adding dishwasher detergent. It did a complete wash cycle this time in record time and shut off like normal.
I'm thinking either I had a limed up turbidity sensor or the liquid detergent I'm using is my problem. If it screws up next wash cycle, I think it time to get a different detergent.
Thanks to all who gave me advice, especially the advice on googling my problem. That's where I learned about the turbidity sensor. BTW, I had to google the defination of turbidity. I didn't have a clue that a dishwasher had one. I just figured it ran cycles based on time like the old clothes washers.
Very glad I have my Grandpa's German cheap gene and didn't buy a new dishwasher.
Thanks to all for your ideas,
