[Diesel-RVs] Water pump not working

My water pump is blowing the 10 amp fuse as soon as I hit the remote
switch. The light on the remote switch doesn't even flicker before
the fuse blows. I'm told it is a diaphragm pump. I assume diaphragm
pumps can't bind up outside of the motor itself. It got cold in the
bay as the heater was off temporarily when a fuse tripped, but it ran
perfect for two weeks after that. Then I hit the switch, and it did
nothing - no noise whatsoever since. The outside hose froze when the
fuse tripped, but I don't know about the pump itself. Even if the
pump did freeze, does it make sense that it would work for two weeks
and then quit? I think it's a ShurFlo.

If the motor is binding, is it possible to get it turning by banging
on the pump housing? Or is there any way to manually turn the motor
like a garbage disposal? The pump is not easily accessible at all on
my coach.
