It can be the issue with defective float switch. The float switch may be hung up and this can cause the dishwasher to be stuck in a cycle. One more thing, if your dishwasher gets stuck in a cycle first try shutting off the breaker for at least 5 minutes if this does not correct the problem you will need to replace the timer / electronic control.

SOURCE: My Kitchenaid dishwasher seems to be stuck on the
check to see if you don't have it on an extended wash cycle setting. After that, check to see if the dial is stuck.

Float valve is jammed.
Look inside the machine on the floor will
be a small float valve. Looks like a small upside down cup. Lift it and
clear anything from underneath.
The valve is a safety feature
to stop the machine from over filling. If anything gets under the valve
it will jam open and stop the machine.
Not working?
Check for a clog internal or external.
Scoop
as much water our as you can. Open the cover on the floor of the
machine. Usually just turns and lifts out or snaps out some are screwed
in. Take your time and try not to force anything. Look for a clog
there.
Check for clog in the drain. The dishwasher will
connect to the drain under your sink and run either directly to the
drain or into your disposal unit. Remove open the connections and look
for a clog. Clear if necessary.
Not the clog?
Water is
pumped out by the machine via an internal pump located under the base.
If it fails the water will collect until it trips the float valve.
First scoop out all the water from the machine and run it again. If
water comes in and it runs to the point it fills again and trips the
float then either the pump or timer is faulty.
Pump check.
Remove
the machine. It will be held in place by screws directly into the
counter top. You may have to lower it to get it out. The front feet
turn with a wrench to lower.
Turn off the water supply. Run the unit again until you get to the drain cycle.
Connect
a test light or voltage tester to the terminals at the pump. Check for
voltage at the pump. If you have voltage replace the pump. If no
voltage the timer is faulty.
Timer problem?
Some can be replaced as a unit others are integral to the control panel. Turn style can be replaced. Touch control can not.
