This is what happened to mine but maybe not to yours. I was able to find the exact replacement part motor on Amazon if I recall...just do a search of the motor part number on the web. The motor is a press fit into the fan that can be done easily with a rubber mallet.

That would explain the smell today, I thought it was the asphalt being repaired but that may have just been a coincidence.
