hi,
` mark` what you are asking mate is dangerous and can compromise the overall safety, and functionability of the appliance,.
Take my advice mate and fit a new timer module,by bypassing the timer you will have a serious issue with the voltages, not to mention the earthing related issues.
bite the bullet and replace the timer,
oh yes don't forget to buy mutly a bone as well,
all the best with it mate and good luck with the repair.
