Hi Justin...

My SRSG motor did the EXACT same thing last year in October...

by chance, was your motor close to the primary coil ???  like less than 16"
underneath it? AND by chance did you happen to have a few loops of
extension cord
or wire feeding the motor near the primary ( like within 2') ... If you did
than
your motor sufferd the same demise mine did ....  the loops of
wire/extension cord
behaved as another coil that fed off of the primary and Zapped the motor....
