SOURCE: Glue Gun Question
Gather the materials needed and place them on a flat surface near an electrical outlet. Examine the glue gun. Locate the metal rest. This is usually attached to the barrel of the gun and is shaped like a "W." Make sure it folds out and locks into place. Locate the trigger. This is just behind the barrel on the underneath side of the gun. It should be a solid piece of plastic shaped like a slice of pie. Just above the trigger, is the barrel loader. This is where the glue sticks go into the gun. Inside the barrel loader there is a smaller round piece of plastic. This is what actually pushes the glue stick through the barrel. Pull the trigger and watch the piece of plastic move with it. Pick up the electrical cord and examine it. Make sure the prongs are secure and not bent. Make sure the cord has no breaks in the outer lining and there are no frays at the base of the gun where the cord attaches. Plug the glue gun into the electrical outlet. Allow the gun to heat at least 15 minutes so it reaches operating temperature. When the gun has heated at least 15 minutes, insert a glue stick as far as it will go without forcing it. Now pull the trigger until a small drop of hot glue forms on the tip of the gun. Practice gluing on the paper plate. Pull the trigger until a ball of glue forms on the plate. Release the trigger and quickly press the tip of the gun down onto the surface of the plate and pull it to the side. This will break the glue and stop it from stringing out when you pull it away. Continue practicing until you get the right amount of glue you want for the object you imagine using. When you pull the gun away, there may be a small string but this will break off easily. When you have the perfect amount of glue and only a tiny string forming when you pull away, you are ready for your project.

Try using denatured alcohol from your local hdwe store along with a rag, comb, and even a toothpick . A test area would be my first idea; color fastness and while there is not much odor it may affect some people with allergies and respiratory problems. It will take some time but be careful not to saturate the carpet itself just the immediate area; the alcohol may breakdown adhesives bonding the carpet fibers to the backing or seaming tape on the underside.

My guess is that you left the gun plugged in too long for the amount of glue that you were using. If you are using it for a good squirt every minute or so, you can leave it plugged in, but if your leave it plugged in too long while using too little, then the heat works it's way back up toward the back of the glue stick. First thing that happens is the glue-advancing trigger stops working because the advancing mechanism can't push against the softened glue stick. Leave it run even longer and it melts further back. Then when you turn it off it cools, but the melted glue is now in places it shouldn't be. If you take it apart you might be able to scrape and pry all of the once-melted glue out of it, then you would be back in business. Good luck!
SOURCE: What is a spray nozzle for my hot glue gun?
A spray nozzle is an optional accessory that may be a useful addition to your spray gun on some projects. Compressed air is used to force a controlled amount of glue out through a specially designed nozzle which sprays it, as opposed to globbing it out of the original nozzle. This is useful when you want to spread a thinner layer of adhesive, but due to its thinness it will dry quicker- usually within a few seconds.

Use the kickstand upfront and lift it all the way over the top of the tip until it click into place,this will hold the back of the nozzle till you unscrew it.Make sure to unplug it and let it stay warm enough so to work with the nozzle.
