I’m trying to source an ‘airflow mode actuator’ / heater blend door motor for a 2007 Mazda 6I, manual heat and a/c control.
Current [failed] part is a Valeo 51872 502752-3470 D32063551A. Please see attached photo should you care.

Local dealership says they can’t get one, warehouses are out, etc.
RockAuto, 1A Auto, and most consumer parts chains don’t list the part.
Can anyone recommend a good source, or do I start calling salvage yards at this point?
Alternately – I just want to switch the A/C from being stuck on defrost. This is not a new car – is it feasible to remove the failed part, manually set the A/C to the cabin and leave it there for the summer?
I would appreciate any insight and advice – thanks all.
