My attic gable vent fan stopped working and so I went upstairs to
find a plastic bag tangled in it.

You could unscrew the 4 long screws and pry the case open and check
the windings. You might be able to find the thermal fuse (I'm
assuming there is one) and remove it (bypass it).

Wouldn't bypassing the thermal fuse be a VERY BAD idea due to the fire
hazard that could cause?
