With all the clever countdowns and displays it never ceases

Zanussi WMs do this. And bloody irritating it is too! They beep at the
end of the cycle (so far so good) but, if you don't go and acknowledge
it, it'll just carry on until the end of time at short intervals.

WJS 1665W has the option to turn it off by pressing the temperature and spin
speed buttons simultaneously.
