Brad,
As far as replacing the control board, it's a simple changeout. There is no need for any programming - "plug and play".
And as far as the motor latch assembly, if you keep the bad one in, it may (or may not) trigger an error code on the control board and you won't be able to use the oven. I can't really comment on manually releasing the locking rod. Not because I want you to spend the money on the new latch assembly, but because: 1. it's not really a safe option 2. liability issues.
