Mostly they seem to just turn on/off on to vary the average power, so for full power and a timer you could use a clockwork 55 min timer and a relay if the electronics panel failed.
I'll leave it up to the reader to figure how to add a power knob and 555 timer to have variable power or defrost mode.
A high voltage rectifier diode may well be required Mike.....................................................................................
