Craftsman electric chain saw seized up...what to do?

I bought a Craftman electric chain saw about 3 years ago and have usedit a couple of times each summer...maybe 5-10 hours of use in all. Iwas cutting up a tree in the back yard today when the saw just stoppedcold. It was like the chain brake had engaged, but it hadn't.Nothing happens when I hit the switch, and the chain sprocket won'trotate at all. It's out of warranty, so before I bring it to Searsand have them tell me it will cost more to fix than I want to pay, Ithought I'd ask for suggestions about how to fix it myself. Doessomeone have a suggestion? Thanks in advance!!
