I had a fuck ass boiler where the pump would get stuck from not running in the warmer months, the sediments would still and the pump wouldn't move. So in the fall when it came time to use it I always had to whack it with a 2x4 and a hammer to get it to spin again. Could be similar.

Probably something dumb like your case. We lived without heat for 2 years. Working in the closet with a buddy led me to screwing the breaker box to the stud properly. Never tripped again. No idea why.
