All of a sudden today my wife says the garbage disposal just hums
when you flip the switch.

I tried to turn it by hand (with the power off of course) and it is

Is it shot or is there something I can do?

There is usually a hole in the bottom you can insert an Allen wrench
into and turn manually until it unjams.
