Disposal stuck/humming

Model Number: GFC325 Brand: GE Age: 1 - 5 years

Appliance Parts from AppliancePartPros.com

It started happening out of the blue. The disaposal will hum, but not turn. I have already pushed in the reset switch when it popped and reset the breaker as well. There is a nut at the bottom of the unit, but it only appears to be holding the bottom together. Is there a manual control I can use to turn the motor, or is the broomhandle the only tool I can use to troubleshoot this?

Please advise.

You can rotate the blades manually using a special garbage disposer wrench.
