When it got very cold for days my washer worked then stopped. I have plenty of fluid.

Hello,

It could have frozen the washer fluid which is common. They make washer fluid that resists freezing which will help. Can you hear the motor running when you use thee switch?

Here is a guide to help you see what you are in for when doing the job:

Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken

Yes, it was frozen. Thanks for your time. I took hot water and poured it on the lines.
