Windshield washer fluid not coming out?

So I have had my 2012 r class for a week and yesterday I tried the front wipers and noticed no fluid? I figured it was emptied so I filled it up(tool almost 1 full jug) tried it today and still nothing. I can hear it working, the rear works. What could it be?
Thanks

I would think the front water pump motor is dead. My other vehicle has same problem. There are 2 tubings at the bottom of the reservoir, swap them around to see if the front works and the rear is not then you know it is the water pump is dead.

I was thinking the motor is dead, but from inside the car you can hear it working. Maybe something is clogged in the line?

The headlight washers activate automatically every 5th time you wash the windshield.
