sounds like it got to hot and the heat destroyed something inside such as a tranistor or one of its counterparts

Either due to long-term heat/cool cycles, or like DVO says - you got one that was finished up at 4:55 pm on a Friday...

Are you sure your motor was not shorting?

That ammount of heat sounds impossable with that setup...
