Location: Cedarburg, Wisconsin | Working with circuit boards and DC motors a lot, it sounds to me like one of two things. Either there is a serious flaw in the circuit boards, which is pretty remote, unless maybe they had a bad shipment of parts, or probably more likely it's a bad motor. Without hearing the symptoms of how the unit failed it's tough to speculate. If there were shorted windings in the motor or maybe a flooded motor housing it might draw excessive amps for not nearly the output you'd expect causing the circuitboard to overheat and fry. But that's just a guess, nothing for certain. I'd have someone check out the motor before blaming the circuit boards.
