I'd strongly recommended NOT spraying lubricants in and around the button, you could easily destroy the dishwasher, there are a lot of smarts behind that cover.
Parts for these are usually not too hard to get.
You could try, with the dishwasher unplugged removing the front plastic panel and try to find out why it's getting hard to use. It's probably worn or broken somewhere and catching.
Ping me tomorrow (Saturday) if you'd like me to pull my identical looking one apart to show how it's done.
About 2 years ago we also had the sticky button on our Bosch dishwasher. So I sprayed some CRC 556 into the gap around the button, pushed the button a few times and it has been working fine ever since.
Figured that since 556 could be used on engine ignitions etc it wouldn't do any harm to a dishwasher.
Uses from the CRC website include: "Electrical: Plugs, switches, coils, leads, etc."
