I did exactly the same thing to mine last winter, you can manually shut it using an allen key .The motor is just a few screws to remove but i found that mine had completely melted the plastic end moulding holding the brushes and havent got around to replacing it yet.The fuse fitted is obviously to large for the motor and should have been a suitably rated thermal oveload to protect the motor but allow current surge on startup.

I also need to tape it over before the rain comes over the weekend. If pooped, can these motors be changed easily??
