** It hums... We've cut the circuit breaker and tried the reset button. All we get is a humming sound. **
All either of those things would do is control power to the unit. If it is humming, it has to be getting power so neither of those things as related to your problem.
** The only time the reset button worked was when we left the switch on and it automatically stopped humming. **
Yes, you forced the unit's overload protector to trip by leaving it powered when it was not operational.
** we have tried using the allen wrench **

Could it be turned or couldn't it??
