The thermostat is there for a reason,Disabling it could lead to it being a fire hazard.

I am an electrician for many years. I strongly advise not to do it. It could cause a fire by overheating the wiring. If it's not getting hot enough then get another heater or buy one that is bigger and has more output.
Please don't short out the thermostat.

A thermostat can be by-passed, but if you are not technologically capable of such alterations, don't try it. If the other components of the unit are not of suitable quality, capacity, etc you could create a fire hazard out of an otherwise safe and useful heater.

I'm no electrician, but couldn't this be dangerous?
It might overheat if there's no thermostat.
