Blower popped a fuse, not sure why

[1320INC]

Bought this bought today and the blower didn't work. I found the 7.5 amp fuse blown in the fusebox and put in a 10 just to see if the blower worked. I hit the switch and it almost seemed like it wasn't gonna run, then it kicked on and looked like some debris flew out of the vent. It ran for about 3-5 seconds, then blew the 10amp fuse. Any ideas?? I am wondering if the fan is sticking and needs lubed or if the fan is just bad? I looked at all the wiring I could see and everything looked normal, like its NOT a short, but who knows.

Junk?

Sounds like the fan was jammed by what ever flew out.
Clear the fan and replace the fuse.
Was it paper or foam, Maybe a wasp nest.
