there should be a hex key lug in the bottom of it so you can turn the
blades manually. Make sure the blades turning freely.

Then check the breaker (the red button on the bottom). Push it in if
it's "out".

outside of that, ya, I guess it's shot. Especially if it's smoking...
but I can't imagine how you could get smoke from the drain, you should
see it well up under your sink if anywhere.
