Better Than Duct Tape

Washers and dryers can be expensive. So, when they go out you usually always want to try and fix them before you throw them away and go and buy a new one. That's what this person did when the start button had to stay pushed down in order to work. Instead of just standing there for an hour or so while the clothes were being dried, they used a c-clamp to keep the button pressed down.

It's probably the best solution for this particular situation, too. Since dryers tend to bounce around a bit, there really isn't much else strong enough to keep the button pressed down.
