Could it be that the cutting knives are all jammed up and the machine senses this and wants you to drive it in reverse to clear the jam - but the jam is so bad the drive motor does not have enough power to overcome it - so you hear the motor humming as it tries to work?
You may have to free the knives manually - with the power off.
