I pulled the circuit board out of this part and used a piece of duct tape to secure the broken plastic keeper that aligns the plastic button actuator with the switch on the circuit board. I've searched for this part too and can't find it. You can buy the whole control panel for $150. The duct tape might last a couple days or a couple years. As long as the plastic holder doesn't become dislodged it should last a long time. Another reason why I hate plastic parts - they break. Good luck in finding this part - if you ever do post your solution here.
The duct tape didn't last. The plastic piece became dislodged and we could not start the dryer. I soldered a two-conductor wire onto the circuit board behind the start switch and installed a Radio shack momentary push button switch on the back of the dryer where it can't be seen but can be felt by the operator. Total cost $2.79 to fix.
