Dust Collector sucked a towel ... won't work
 

My Jet dust collector sucked up a towel ... it went thru the hose, thru
the fan and lodged in the short tube between the blower and the
collector bag when the motor quit working. The fan spins freely but
the motor won't turn on.

Any ideas appreciated

No ... but I had immediately checked the circuit I thought the collector
was on and it was OK. Just now I checked the breaker box and the
breaker was tripped. All a ok ...

Thanks for your reply

No matter how great the idea seems in the shower, you need proper
clothing before woodworking - running to the shop dressed only in a
towel can lead to all sorts of complications ;-)

Zero-sum game, if it was sucking somewhere, it was blowing somewhere else.
I stand by my pun.
