If it does turn out that the problem is either a bad motor or motor control board (most commonly manifested as a burned out fuse on the board) then you’ll need the new, upgraded motor and motor control board set. You can’t just replace the fuse on the control board because the blown fuse is just a symptom of the real underlying problem so it won’t work.
