You can replaced the freeze control without buying entire timer:
Google: "Intermatic thermostat freeze control" to see cross selection of choices.
For example Smarthome sells PF1103 for $80: works for 120 or 240

To prevent freezing right now, the pump should run full time, so pull trippers off the timer dial, and mover override lever to ON position. This will keep the pump running.
When the temperature rises, put trippers back on dial, and then order new part.

Also take advantage of fixya phone service.
For a price, expert speaks with you over phone while you work on timer or any do-it-yourself project.
Fixya is always less expensive than a service call.
Outlet temperature sensor fault
(Temperature below freezing or
above 210°F).
1. Check red wire connections at hot water temperature sensor.
Clean terminals with an eraser. If badly corroded, replace sensor
and wire harness. See Fig. 65, page 48.
2. Sensor may trip if water temperature drops below freezing to
protect heater from freezing conditions. Any damage due to
freezing conditions is not covered under warranty.
3. Clean inlet filter screen and clear any debris out of shower
heads, faucet aerators and whole house filters.
4. In areas where water has a high mineral content, periodic
descaling may be necessary.
I would be very surprised if your water temp is below freezing, even in Alaska, check it with a thermometer. Well water is usually around 45 degrees F.
Let me know,
