I think that must be a microcontroller, I can't think of any other reason it would need a crystal. So that's going to be a problem to repair because even if you could find out what type it is you'd have to programme it with suitable software. But make 100% sure all the other components are ok, testing out of circuit if needed. As I see it you have 4 choices (1) Use a simple analogue motor speed controller, using the switch to switch resistors to vary the voltage on the triac gate. An easy option but you won't have pulsing. (2) Replacing the board with an off the shelf ready made design. Again pulsing isnt usually a feature (3)Adding a pulse feature to either of the above will make this more complicated but should be possible (4) Programming a microcontroller of your choice and hard wiring it to the board. Google 'ac motor speed controller' or 'microcontroller ac motor speed controller' to bring up designs you can use
But as a couple of us have said before, try the board back in the mixer with the triac gate disconnected just to make sure its not shorted- dont rely on your meter readings
