Can I jumper/bypass a Micro-switch in a stove?

Question

Can I jumper/bypass a Micro-switch which effects the oven to turn on in GE 30" profile electric stove (GE #JBP66COH2CC)...?....Will this

damage main circuit board?....This Micro-switch is no longer available & has no substitute part available...The top elements are working properly but the oven broil or bake will not come on unless you jiggle the Micro-switch, then only comes on at certain times....any feedback from an experienced appliance repair person would be appreciated...thanks

Update:

I checked on line & with local parts supplier, appliance repairs shops...this part/specialty switch is no longer available anywhere

Update 2:

my only option if I want to use the oven is to bypass the Micro-switch which effects the oven to turn on

Update 3:

Here is a similar problem reported to Fixya......"Door Locked" flashing on GE Oven JTP15 - can't unlock

Answer:  The problem may very well be in one of the micro switches on the self cleaning motor bracket. These switches control the electrical flow to the heating elements.

Answer 1

You never, never, never bypass a safety device and then turn your back on it.  Call a professional.  

Answer 2

It you have to ask, YOU probably can't.

A substitute part is available nearly EVERYWHERE electrical parts are sold. It probably isn't specifically listed for the stove, but there is no such thing as a switch that is no longer available.

Answer 3

If you do it correctly, bypassing the switch won't damage the board. It will only remove the safety feature of turning off the broiler when the oven door is open.
