Hi Avo, the only thing I can suggest is get a new one. I don't know why it's stuck, they should last for ages. it is one of those things though that you need to keep as a spare just in case.

take it off, take out the washer from it and put it in some warm water, give it a clean out and then try it after that, might have some bits caught it in.

mine is harder to turn in the morning untill the hot water starts running through it, then it turns with no problem
