Ok thanks. I washed him and the jet was too low on the screen. Adjusted it and now nothing. Must be blocked I guess.

Get someone to operate the washer while you prod it with a needle,that should flush any blockage out.

I would suggest using a pin rather than a needle - needles are brittle and can snap off in the jet easily. Been there and done that! :D

Blow the crud out with airline :ok

But beware if the water tank is full as back pressure will soak the floor
