Skoda Roomster Windshield Washer Heater Issue

I am writing to inquire about a problem with my 2011 Skoda Roomster, gasoline engine. The windshield washer heater appears to be faulty. The error memory stores a corresponding error, and the spray nozzles freeze at cold temperatures. Based on my research, the likely cause is a defective cable or plug connection. Could clogged nozzles cause this, or is the heating element the prime suspect?

I had something similar with my Roomster. Were your windshield wipers completely frozen, or just spraying weakly? Have you checked the fuse box? Sometimes it's the simplest things.

Thanks for the quick reply. When you say similar, do you mean the windshield washer heater specifically? The spray nozzles were completely frozen, despite the engine being warm. Where exactly is the fuse box located, and which fuse should I check?

Yes, it was the washer heater. I thought it was clogged nozzles at first. As for the fuse box, I'm not entirely sure where it is in your model. I ended up taking it to a workshop, and they sorted it out quickly. Maybe that's your best bet too?

Many thanks for the information. The garage confirmed the cable to the heating element was defective, as suspected. 95€ later, the windshield wipers are working perfectly, even in freezing temperatures. Winter driving is much safer now.
