We also have used "freeze spray" on over heated components but please remember that many of these products are freon based. As such, freon is an effective degreaser and should be applied with care near motor bearings and gearboxes. Also consider the thermal shock to sensitive components like plastics. Finally, using freeze spray in Florida (or other humid regions) will cause condensation on electrical parts for a short period of time. Let the parts reach ambient temps before applying power.
Good Luck,
