We have two attic fans in the roof to take hot air out. Last year one
of them quit working. Would it still using electricity?

Yes.

Believe it or not, many of those cheapie roof fans (~$100.00 or less) have
oilers on the motor. Funny since almost *all* other HVAC motors which are
much easier to access have permanent lubrication.

Anyway, it could have burned up completely, or it may sitting up there
cycling on overload. I would physically disconnect the wiring or repair
it right away if I were you.
