It no longer works when I press it. Is this just a switch problem and I should replace that button? Or could it be something else? Any advice would be appreciated.

Unfortunately this part is no longer available. Here are the breakdown diagrams and Parts for Whirlpool GJP84802 Range - AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.

I took apart the control panel to take a look and saw the printed circuit that the Start button touches. The rubber button itself does move freely so I guess that was not the problem. When I put it back together, for some reason, the button was working. I also had turned off the circuit breaker to the stove while I was doing this. Can you figure out why it would start to work again?
