I had an old Intermatic TN111 indoor timer with the red & green trippers laying around. I just drilled out the plastic plugs holding it together and popped out the timer motor. The timer motor is mechanically identical to the Malibu pool/lighting timer whose timer motor died.. As a bonus you get a spare load switch in case that ever fails. This works for 125VAC timers but not for 230VAC though if you have access to split phase you can run the motor off of 120 VAC and the load off of the 240 VAC

I'm not sure exactly what timer you have. You posted under Intermatic 'all weather timer' which is plug-in type timer with red and green pins.
1) If your timer is plug-in-type and trippers will not move, then just plug heater into the wall and don't use timer at all.
2) If you have Intermatic hard-wire timer that does not plug in, then trippers are attached to metal dial. Remove trippers with pair of pliers. Don't use trippers and flip manual override lever to ON.
3) When it gets warmer and you have time to discuss, add a comment with timer model number and I'll look for the information.

Step one - insert the pins at the times you want the night light to come on and go off. The green pins will turn on the night light and the red pins will turn it off. If you just want one on time and one off time just use one pin of each color.
After you have the pins inserted, set the correct time on the timer and plug it into an outlet that is always on [not one that is controlled by a wall switch].
The override switch will turn the device off if it is on, but just one time. As the next time it turns on it will once again be controlled by the times.
If ou want the night light to come on and off in the evening and again in the morninng, use two green pins and two red pins. Push in a green pin at each time where you want the night light to come on and push in a red pin at each time you want it to go off.
