dgazaway's comment stirred up the old gray matter a bit -
As he said - you "thought" old one was broken - if you still have it, does it work or is it reasonably fixable ? Might be an option.
BTW - for repair, Appliance Repair - Large is your Search the List category.
I always recommend going with a mechanical timer dial, non-electronic appliance if possible - the electronic ones have tons of electronics and sensors that serve no purpose, do not last as long, have that many more elements to go bad, and commonly cost 50-100% more to fix, so go simple and rugged. I prefer Whirlpool or Maytag (or the Kenmores made by them) for reliability and fairly (relatively speaking) simple construction and repairs.
Also, the fancy electronic washers and dishwashers are chasing the GreenStar ratings and such, so tend to do a few seconds of work, then sit for minutes doing nothing - so a simple 20 minute cycle lasts an hour or more, and does not do half the cleaning of the old machines. Just like with cars - if they built a 70's model with electronic ignition but NOTHING else electronic and eliminated all the bells and whistles, would probably sell like hotcakes - and lasst longer and be cheaper too.
