My blender's motor is not activating, but my lights are on.

I have a decent but off-brand blender by Anthter, which costs a pretty penny, and I have already received a replacement for my faulty device. However I don't really want to toss my device that's faulty, so I was hoping I could fix it and use it eventually.

This occured on my 3rd use of the blender ever, trying to crush up some grain in it. I'm pretty certain I must have overheated it or busted something because in the middle of blending a bunch of grain, it stopped working suddenly.

The lights go on when plugged in, and everything acts normal, but the blender will not activate the motor. In fact there is no sound at all. The safety button to make sure the container is in is definitely pressed in. It's got to do something with something else. It's been like this for about a month, so it's definitely cooled down.

Any help at all would be really appreciated!.
