If the motor is working like you say it is, it's likely that just the nozzles are blocked. Try removing the pipes going into the nozzle and then see if water comes out, if it does you need to clear the nozzles out.

Does the bottle empty itself? If not there's nothing wrong with the bottle. If it does, is a pipe adrift or is it burst (frost-damaged) bottle?

Easy way to clean the nozzles is to back-flush with a hose (pipes off somewhere convenient first).
