To fix a shampoo pump that won't open, start by holding the pump firmly and turning it counterclockwise to unlock it. If it’s stuck, you can use a damp cloth to improve grip. If that doesn’t work, soak the pump in warm water for a few minutes to loosen any dried shampoo. Test the pump again. If the pump is still jammed, check for any pieces that might need realignment or consider replacing the pump if it remains faulty.
