Can I make pie crust dough, remove from machine, roll out and bake in regular oven?

The only thing you can do for these machines is the following:
first, if the unit is always plugged in, disconnect it for at least an hour.  This may reset it.
I doubt there are parts...but if you disassemble the unit and cycle all of the connectors, you may get lucky.  IF parts exist, you'll likely need a timer module.

If you are leaving the unit plugged in all the time, you may reset it by unplugging it for about half an hour.  If this doesn't clear the problem, the timer unit is bad and will likely need replacement.  If you like the unit, consider a new one...or another brand

SOURCE: on dough mode, machine won't knead

paddles could be slipping. that was my issue. Here's the solution if so.

What happened in my case is that the nut holding the rotor that drives the left paddle was loose, allowing the paddle to slip. Only one paddle would knead and mix. The belts in my machine are fine, in fact so massive I can't imagine them breaking. But access? Yikes.

So, forget the screws on the bottom. They just hold on the feet. Remove all the screws around the top of the baking chamber, the two that hold the control panel on, and the remaining screws under it. There are about 12 screws. Remove the 6 at the bottom of the baking chamber, but not the 2 that hold down the element. Remove the metal sides of the baking chamber (it's one piece). All this is to get access to the screws that really hold the works to the base. They're around the perimeter of the metal chassis on which the motor and element are mounted. Remove them (get help or arrange something to keep the control panel from exerting too much pull on the wires to the element. You could unplug the control unit but I didn't need to.)

Once you lift the motor assembly exposing the belts underneath, you'll see what's loose. Each nut holds down a metal plate beneath the rotor. If it gets loose, the rotor can move more or less freely and won't turn. It looks like they applied an inadequate dab of glue to hold those in place. I should have put in a star washer to keep the nut from loosening again. Next time.

Good luck getting all the screws back in the right places ;-) Machine works fine now.

Given what you describe you will need to replace your pan assembly. Here is a site that has it:
