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.
