It might. It depends on wether the motor is siezed (drawing current
but not turning), or burned out (not drawing current).


In the winter months, I tried to turn it, and it didn't turn freely,
seems to have seized. With a little force it started turning freely
again, but it hasn't been hot enough to come on yet.


You should disconnect it. It'll draw current and might even be a fire
hazard.
