Blue Bakelite ???
Ummmmmmmmm... I'm thinking the Blue Wash Arm is Cast Iron. KitchenAid never used bakelite for a wash arm as far as I know.

KDC and KDI 17 dishwashers had a lot of problems with burned terminals on thier timers and pushbutton selector switches. If yours is just sticking take it out of the machine and lubricate it with a silicone lubricant thats safe for electrical items. At this point check for loose or burned terminals which will require a new or good used switch. If no switch can be found it can be electrically bypassed so the machine will run the normal cycle only. All KA four way hydro sweep arms are made with a Bakelite hub and they do ware out. Other than the new POS plastic wash arms in Fiigidare DWs and all the D & M arms that used to split at the seems we replace more KA wash arms than any other design.

On the money, Combo52
John, you gave the same advice I always tell people when they have sticking cycles or cycle switches. Since taking a cycle switch apart and cleaning it can be a daunting task, it can be done with alot of patience and care.
Sometimes there is just gunk and stuff stuck on the stems of the switch so if you can get the buttons off carefully, and maybe spray some wd40 on to the shafts of the buttons and work them in and out, your problem may be solved as well.
I have been to a few places where there is a good supply of vintage parts so it may be worth a shot to see what is still out there. Two places I know of here in central Florida is Atchley appliances in Orange City (have to ask for the parts and service dept) and Pioneer Appliances in Daytona Beach. They have a whole slew of older parts so it may be worth a try. IIRC, Robin is the woman to speak to there.
