With the freezing tempitures that we are having at the moment, it might be damp which has frozen, somewere in your electrics, try spraying with wd40.

You can pour hot water over it to defrost, well you can if it's a Shurflo, I have done it many times and it never effected it in any way. 

I just noticed it's a Flowmaster you have, you would have to ask someone else if you could pour hot water on that one.
