I know I should know this...but I cant find it! Granted I havent looked too hard because its freakin' cold, but If I knew where to look it would sure be nice.
I cant seem to get any activity when I push the washer button. I cant hear the pump running either. For the moment its not unreasonable to assume its frozen, because I tend to run either straight water or a water/blue mix during the warmer months, and sort of forgot to add in some blue...and it hasnt been above freezing in a week or more here.
Id like to find the pump to check for wiring problems, and possibly replace if necessary....thanks!

It's at the bottom of the washer reservoir. Look for a cable coming out and up near there.
Sounds frozen and if'n so, then the lines are most likely as well.

Looks like its good and buried..thanks for the pic!
Im hoping its just frozen too, but ya never know. Couldve trashed the pump if it froze up bad inside it.

Well it finally warmed up into the upper 30s this afternoon, quite balmy if I do say so.
Pump started working again, filled it up with the blue stuff and let it run for a while...hopefully it wont freeze again.
Thanks for the help anyway.
