What type of machine

like many electrical items there made for the right fuse or breaker to be ran off of the main box so there is a high odds your fan had to many amps going through it and very good that you blew the motor,you would have to replace the motor if you want it to run again.

I DON'T KNOW. PLEASE CONSIDER SWITCHING THE WIRES SO SAFE BAR POSITION IS 'HEAT ON' AND TILTED BAR POSITION IS 'HEAT OFF'. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH ELECTRICITY AND MORESO WHEN MAKING REPAIRS WHERE THERE MIGHT BE A CHANCE OF FUTURE FIRES. BE WELL.

These run very small motors with low "starting torque" If the fan hasn't been run for a long time, its possible that it has jammed up or got tight from just sitting there. Being careful, turn on the fan and spin it in its usual direction by hand, it should start running. If you cannot spin by hand, it may have seized up which will require you to strip and lube the motor. If you manage to get the fan spinning , let it run on high fan speed for an hour or so, it should free up and then be OK again. A small spray of WD40, CRC or similar spray can lube on the fan shaft where it disappears into the motor may assist.
