I have a Toro 1800 power curve electric snowblower model 38025 that
just quit. It has worked fine for 2 or 3 seasons but today it quit,
blowing the circuit breaker with an accompanying burned wire odor.
Resetting the breaker and plugging the blower in blew the breaker
again with out any movement of the rotor. Any ideas where to look
first would be appreciated.

Can you determine the location from where the "burned wire odor" is
coming?

Motor area? Switch? Cord?

Can you (with the unit unplugged) get the snow rotor to turn? Or is
the unit jammed?

Maybe it swallowed an object......

The roror will turn but of course the motor might be frozen and the
belt just slipping. I did not see any smoke so i do not know which wire
(s) were involved.
