I'll second the recommendation of www.appliancepartspros.com.  They
have good drawings and pictures to allow you identify what you need.
Once you have the part number, you might want to also check ebay.
Locally, I would call Ankeny Hardware(on SE *Stark* at 11th) first,
then WL May.  I've found that Ankeny is typically less expensive than May.
