Unload doesn't seem to heat it up enough. Try Clean, or, Load, but, you may need to pull the extruder to clear it.

Re: filament wont load

I had the same problem, i emailed the company.  What you need to do is take apart the extruder and you will know exactly what is going on.  it is super easy to do. and its good to clean everything when you in there.

Here is what they sent me to show you how to do it.
