    In the "hot rod" days of the 60's, belt-driven superchargers were called "blowers". But the blowers in the Prius are in one of three places: The radiator, the A/C, or the battery compartment. Assuming you mean the one in the A/C, and your "problem not working" is that it's not moving air, then check the fuse first, a 20A marked A/C (HTR), in the driver-side footwell fusebox. If that's OK, it's not likely clogged, but the variable speed controller could be at fault. Here's a video describing the module:

    Rebound and Pluggo like this.

    it doesn't run all the time, and at lower speeds, you can't hear it. i've never heard mine, but it doesn't generally go over 100 degrees f here, and i don't drive faster than 65-70 mph.
