I would just wait until it warms up a bit before you start doing things, it does sound like its just frozen up.

If the motor is making a noise its not the fuse or the stalk.

Try using some punctuation so people can read what your writing properly then.

If there is no buzzing check the fuse and if that is all ok it sounds like the pump has had it as I'm sure it should still try and make a noise even if it is frozen ?

It won't make a noise if the bottle and motor is frozen!
Most fuse boards have what the fuse is for either on the lid over the fuses or next to the fuse.
Failing that buy a Haynes manual. Relatively cheap and helpfull for items from basic to advanced.
