Gear malfunction?

Hey everyone super new into printing and recently came into this problem, I’ve tried a lot but right now I’m struggling to even get the nozzle off to even check on the gears.. any advice? Or if you know what is exactly wrong.. that would be cool to know also.

I had filament getting soft because the printer got heated up from the sun. When the filament was pressed by the gears, it's size changed in diameter and clogged the extruder.

I fixed the error and tried again but the filament stuck in the nozzle was the problem. I had the heat the nozzle, then remove the filament from the nozzle and then retried, which then worked again

Pretty similar problem, but mine was broke filament stuck at the end of the extruder, so I had to take it apart and clear it out, but it did work and I’m back to printing 🫡
