A word of caution... When working as it is designed to work your dryer has a heating system that pulls the air through either the heating coil if it is electric and through a chamber that is heated by a flame if it is gas. The blower does not force air over the heat unit. If the dryer is accidentally ran even for a short amount of time, which will happen if the door is opened with it running with the door switch not functioning, bad things can happen. Worse things can also happen and they can be a lot worse than simply replacing a small, inexpensive part.
You can probably get one here at a reasonable price.
