Button label fell off of control panel -Kenmore Ultrawash Quietguard Deluxe?

I was wiping down the exterior of my Kenmore Elite Ultrawash Quietguard Deluxe (Model 665) and the little plastic cover on the "Smart Wash" button came flying off. I thought I might just be able to pop it right back on, but that doesn't seem to do the trick. Should this all be one piece and it's broken now? Or is each button covered with it's own label and there's some way to secure it back on there? I want to fix it correctly! It's not even two years old and should still look nice. Thanks for any advice.

Same problem! I put clear mounting tape on the back of the button and stuck it back on.

Tried super glue, but it was a mess.

In one case, I had actually lost the button. I found a picture of it on the internet, printed it at the correct size (took some experimenting), laminated it, then trimmed it and stuck it on with the tape. Looks fine from a couple of feet away.

I had the exact same problem only four buttons fell off and the D/W was less than a year old. We're about to put our house up for sale and I know this is going to be an issue. You can't find these anywhere.

I have the same problem! Apparently many people have this problem. You can look up the button functions in the manual, and then write them on the front of the dishwasher with a sharpie pen. It looks real tacky. This is the last Kenmore appliance I will ever buy.

Sorry, I don't have an answer, but I have the same problem. Seems to be quite a few people with same issue, but I have not found any listed solutions yet. Does anyone have a fix other than replacing the whole electronics panel as Kenmore state?
