    Hello,
    'Why you don't turn it off?' is grammatically incorrect.
    Regards.

    Hello,
    The auxiliary verb comes before the subject in a question.

    Hello!

    Direct question: Why don't you turn it off?

    Reported speech: I'm wondering why you don't turn it off.

    the right one is 'Why don't you turn it off.

    The given question is an interrogative sentence. In an interrogative sentence, The question tag(why) is always followed by a verb. So the right sentence is "Why don't you turn it off?".
