Why Doesn't the Wiper Move After Snowfall?

[LePaisley]

After snowfall, the wiper doesn't move because it is frozen. Precautions for frozen wipers: Do not rush to turn on the wiper to make it scrape or try to pry it with your hands directly. This can easily cause damage or deformation to the wiper blade. Forcing the wiper to operate may even burn out the motor in severe cases. Precautions for using wipers: If the windshield is too dirty, with sand or dust, clean the debris before using the wiper. Don't rely solely on the wiper to clean everything, as this not only wears out the wiper but also risks scratching the glass with dirt. Avoid dry scraping; always spray windshield washer fluid before activating the wiper to prevent damage to the rubber blade and motor.
