They have had success with several motors in house when they apply 12V between the motor lead and the case. This zaps the debris and you should be good to go. You might have try this with both leads depending on where the debris is.

I will try this on our 2 shorted motors tonight and post our results.

Thanks for the info. I'll give this a go as well and post the results.
