Help for an electrical feebe.....

Jenn-air gas stove/oven.

Digital display for clock and oven controls work intermittently. If I tap the yellow thingie in the circuit board pic it buzzes lightly, display/oven controls work but shut down after ten minutes. If I get it started and tap it again (butt of screwdriver - just a wee tap) it will stop buzzing and the display stops.

Calls to the appliance parts guy in town indicate the board needs replaced and that trying to fix the boards is a challenge even for pros and they just replace board in-kind.

That said, do I have a remote chance of fixing this or should I just hang it up and get another board? I am assuming that tapping the yellow thingie may be simply transferring the impact "shock" to the rest of the board, and the intermittent failure point is simply jostled causing it to work for a few minutes until heat breaks a connection.

However, if the yellow thingie is not supposed to buzz, perhaps that individual part could be scrounged up and replaced?

Just a wild shot asking here but I have gotten better input here on odd-ball topics that I get on specific topic boards.

Edit: I can wiggle connections and the yellow thing and nothing happens - only when i tap it does the display come back on.

Note heat damage on clock face - plastic cover has warped from heat leaking out of oven case into the circuit board area. Also, control circuit board is directly behind the clock.
