If you don't mind to  have it slightly changed you could theorycally get off the panel and put a new  timer...
Time ago my sister purchased a timer like these....
I still  have it and she  bought it  from the same shop  I'm linking you...but mine it's 15 minutes..
I like these chromed ones as they're Vintage looking and would not be unappropriate on a VTG machine and would not ruin the look...
They have several ones on sale like these with different timing and amperages....
I think this is a good choiche in your case...
The  timing ring could easily fit the pre-existent one there was in yours...
And......fun part is that it has a end Cycle bell!!!!!
Timer is 180 minutes rated for 15 Amp....

Hi Peter I have a similar model sadly I cannot help you with the knob , but have you or can you move the circular access panel below the door. This fills with fluff after about a year. Mine unscrews its access to the fan , it may be full. You may of course all ready know about this.

Ill keep a look out for a replacement

Timer

Hey freddy,wow that looks great.
When I get time I will have a fiddle. I think this will always be an outside machine because it is too tall to fit under a standard worktop.So in the workshop it will stay.
It works perfectly, and as I said dries superfast/

Wow..That looks cool.
I was, many moons ago a washing machine engineer.The access panel on this unit is a pop off.Not one speck of dust was inside.
The dryer,cooker and fridge were all from the same house and have been well cared for.I just have to see if I can convert the stove to bottle gas....oooh I love a project!
