I was using my electric chainsaw and it stopped by itself, I thought it was the fuse breaker so finished to that day. I plugged it straight into the wall and it still doesn't work, so it's something more serious. I cannot move the chain around by hand, so I think the brake is stuck. I think it had the same problem but it worked the next time I used it. I've pushed the guard forward and pushed the button on the right side, but it still doesn't switch on. Any ideas?

It's a HUSQVARNA 321EL.

Could be anything from a jammed motor to something caught in the front wheel (no idea in terms of technical terms) bearings. Have you tried taking the chain off?
