Common fault in this weather is frozen washer pump , especially if no screen additive .

If jets/pipes blocked pump draws too much current and blows fuse!

most likely to be the pump either frozen like the previous has said and also can be the pump that has blown or burnt itself out with the cold weather strain on the motor check the feed at the motor end if power there then its the motor that has gone or frozen still

Hi, i had the same problem, took it to a garage yesturday and it was just the fuse. dont get it replaced untill the bad weather goes tho or if you do, dont use the wash

As djdoug has said it may be your fuse.
The washer motor uses the same fuse as the boot so it you can't open the boot, then this will be the problem. I had this prob last year.
