I expect you will find that the motor is open circuit. There is a thermal fuse incorporated into one of the field windings which can be replaced with a bit of messing about. A job for a retired appliance service person if you want to keep the price down. Did one today, took about an hour from start to finish.
Remove the bottom cover 1nd unplug the motor from the PCB, check the motor for a circuit with your multi meter. If the circuit is open then remove the motor and locate the thermal fuse attached to one of the field windings under the metal tie and tape for insulation. Test the fuse for a circuit, if it is open then you have 3 options, replace the whole motor, replace the thermal fuse only (it will need to be aftermarket as KA only supply motors complete) or just bypass the faulty fuse.
Remove the bottom cover (unplug the power first) and check the motor for continuity. If it is open circuit check the thermal fuse which will be taped over against one of the field windings close to a brush holder. You can either replace or bypass the fuse if that is the case. Kitchen Aid will only be recommending full motor replacement but it most often it's not really necessary.
Check the motor for continuity, it may be open circuit. If it is locate the thermal fuse covered with insulation tape on one of the field windings (where the metal clip is) Check that for continuity, if faulty bypass or replace it.
If this is a Kitchen Aid blender with the flashing lights then you will need to remove the motor base cover and check the motor for a circuit. If it is open circuit then either replace the motor or locate the thermal fuse (under some white tape and aluminium clip on one of the field windings) and either replace or bypass fuse if it is open circuit.
Motor is probably open circuit, that is the main cause of the flashing lights. New motor OR replace the thermal fuse on one of the field windings if you are up to the task.
Probably open circuit motor. Locate and replace thermal fuse on motor windings or replace the motor. After you have proven the fault of course. Check with a meter.

Same thing happened to me. Opened it up and along the red wire to the motor is a bass fuse. Went to the hardware store and then I replaced it. Works fine.
