If you had to push to start repeadly before and now it won't do anything, does not sound like the start switch to me. Possibly the start winding in the motor is gone. This is just my opinion but i am sure others will chime in as to what the problem might be.

Non Starting DE606 Dryer
It could be the start SW but it usually isn't, the start SW on your dryer is the complete selector SW and is probably NLA and just a little involved to replace so I would do a little more investigation before replacing it, A dryer of this age probably needs a good going over if it is to get weekly use if you want it to remain trouble free.
