If it's immediately when the button is pressed, I would look at the button.

If the belt has stretched, it may also be bouncing around, turning the unit off and on depending on the laundry load in the machine at the time.
Not when the button is pressed but intermittently. Any idea where that belt safety switch might be. It does sound like it's bouncing around when it turns off.
