Thanks for this video, I keep getting an air assist message I took off the carriage plate but I didn’t know u could take off that little silver vent thing and I didn’t know u could use a tool to loosen the belt, I had thee hardest time trying to get my belt back on, I’m going to try and clean it again and I just ordered that electronic air duster, I just spent $17 damn dollars at Lowe’s for a can of air, smh anyways thank u for this video, pray for me that I don’t mess up my machine and it starts working again lol 😂

Good luck. Clean the fan and you should be good.

[@carriekirkes5599]

Great and very helpful video. How often should we clean this fan?

[@FreshStartCustoms]

It's recommend every 40 hours of use I believe. If you clean it from the top like I do in other videos it maybe even longer. This is the first time I had to in over a years time but I keep it clean from the top with a straw cleaner and air duster.

mine is more gooey then dusty, and suggestions for cleaning that.

[@FreshStartCustoms]

I would try the same thing first then try an electric contact cleaner.

Will doing this help with my head not moving? I’ve tried all the troubleshooting from glowfordge and check all connectors but when starting up it never moves during the centering test and I keep getting “failed to take a picture” on my computer.

[@FreshStartCustoms]

That I'm not sure. On, you can try it. The clean lens on the bottom of the head is a tiny camera so you might need to wipe that clean too.

[@ambersmith3390]

Ahhhhhhh Thankyou!!!!

[@TheMajenos5]

Is this for a yellow light ? Have a yellow light and can’t figure out why

[@FreshStartCustoms]

Yellow light means the machine is overheating or to hot. It could be related to this if you never cleaned it before. Otherwise make sure it’s cold enough in your room to run it.

[@TheMajenos5]

@@FreshStartCustoms Got it fix an now yellow again and it keeps going to focus and to centering and yellow smh 🤦 I live in soCal weather about 79 plus 15 minutes from the beach

[@FreshStartCustoms]

@@TheMajenos5 I usually have my house at 70 degrees and never had a yellow light yet. Make sure the bottom right fan is getting plenty of air. Otherwise contact support if it is and all your fans are clean.

My machine is cutting jagged now after I cleaned the air assist

[@FreshStartCustoms]

You need to tighten your belt more then
