The hardest part was those 7 death screws which turns into 14 counting putting it back together and then 28 need to take it apart again...so 7 screws to take out, 7 screws to put back together...then repeat lol...the hardest besides the screws was getting the cover back on and off and back on again...Thanks so much!!! the best ever, if i had the funds I would send you hundreds just to tell cricut how horrible their lack of support is for these megabucks machines....so if a 64 yr old woman with arthritis can do it.....desperation and perspiration

It's a shame Cricut does not help with replacing the wheels. I had no idea this could happen until it did. Unless you warranty is still in effect, they offer a $50 coupon to apply to another machine on their site. REALLY? Many of us have invested hundreds of 💸 and that's your fix? It's not even a choice on the questions for troubleshooting, you have to speak with CS. And why are the users coming up with fixes? This is wrong!

Thanks so much for the video, I purchased the rollers and my husband did the work for me. There were a couple of things that were different on my Cricut Maker; the small cover on top was actually glued to the casing and it took him a minute to pry it off without breaking it. He also had to make the hole bigger to take out the roller on the side as it was much smaller than the opening on your unit. When he put it back together, he said "it will be a miracle if it works" and I had resigned myself to buying a new one, but it worked!! 😀 Thanks again for the great tutorial! ❤

I was so scared to fix it before, but your video was so informative!! Great step by step instructions and warnings! I will say though for my Maker the hole to remove the pole on the right side was to small so i ended up having to use my power drill to shave some of the opening down just so the pole could exit.

You have one of the best tutorials about this I believe. Me and my husband just finished replacing the rollers and it was very challenging for us.I thought we might end up on divorce court. LOL I brought the ratcheting screwdrivers with the flexible extension. My husband couldn't get in a good position to get enough torque on a few to remove them with just the bit tool. But was finally able to Then putting everything back our biggest issue was getting one of the C clips back on. At one point when trying to get the first screws out of the top rail he got so frustrated he said I'll just buy you a new one for your anniversary in January but I could get it early. No way was I going to get another one for $429.00 when the part to be replaced costs a few dollars and others had done it. So with some choice words we persevered and got her done. I just cannot believe that Cricut would do this. Their machines are not cheap!! If I ever need to replace it I think I'll look at other options.

But I was able to reach in to undo the the torx screws though the gap I'd created by trying to pop off the panel. In the end, I got it done. Oh, and a spring near the motor (not the one that tensions the roller) was pisitioned differently than on yiur machine. Im not sure if that was a manufacturing defect or a 'tuning' option exercised during assembly, but it was a minor deviation. I'm now gonna take a hot knife to that panel to ease that final step of reassembly.... (Seperating the panel from the lid) 😊

Just followed along with your video and replaced the rubber wheels. Not as bad as i thought it was going to be. Hopefully these new rubber wheels will last for a long time now.

We are hoping the rollers last longer also. So far our machine is doing fine. Good luck.

Your video is amazing, I managed to do everything as showed and turn it on for testing. It turns on, connect to computer but when I need to load the mat, the arrows button keeps blinking but do not load it. When I turn on the machine the rod turns as it always does, but the arrow button does not work no matter how many times I push it. I am so disappointed to myself.

thank you so much for this tutorial! My father is going to help me with this. Do you have any suggestions on how to get the current rollers back into position until my replacements get here?
@Outdoors4adventure Жыл бұрын
Mine were stretched and soft. So, no way to use my machine until I replaced them.

So - not only is the Cricut software awkward & clunky to use, but what should be routine maintenance on the machine is also awkward & clunky. Thankyou so much for making this video.

Your welcome. This roller situation, Definitely warrants a redesign.
@majortwang239620 күн бұрын
@Outdoors4adventure - I spoke too soon. Couldn't get this to work. Mine seems to have a few design modifications to make the job impossible. The top panel that you popped off - mine had the corners glued down. The gear wheel that comes off easily on yours, seems to have some plastic housing butted up close to prevent removal. I had to cut this housing away with a chisel. There's also another gear wheel right in front of the C clip. Then finally, the holes on the metal plate at either end of the roller bar are too small to get the bar through, even the shaved off right hand end. The bar is locked in place, and the metal plates are impossible to loosen. It looks like a deliberate design tweak to make the rubbers non-replaceable 🤬

So, - THANK YOU for the the tutorial. Best thing ever bc I am NOT purchasing another Maker unless it's absolutely necessary or I find a cheap one 😅. With that being said, - did you reoil yours? Mine sounds louder than before, in the cutting area (not sure if that makes sense). Unsure if it needs lubrication. . . assistance please 😊
@Outdoors4adventure7 ай бұрын
If its in the cutting area, not sure because that area isnt touched.? Hard to say , really. Sorry
@TheUnity3127 ай бұрын
@@Outdoors4adventure - Exactly. I didn't touch it either. Don't get me wrong. It's working great, just louder than before 😅. I'll recheck it to see what's causing it. And, no need to be sorry. Your tutorial was a HUGE help - thanks again ☺️

If you followed all the steps correctly and made no mistakes but ended up with your mat not being able to fit through the rod just remember me. YOU HAVE TO SEPARATE THE 4 WHITE ROLLERS EVENLY, IF THEY NEAR THE BLACK ROLLERS YOU INSTALLED IT WILL CAUSE TOO MUCH TENSION ON THE ROD 🤞🏽

Oh and i managed to make rolers myself whish makes my life so much easier as amazon almost no one send it to my location and ebay postage more than actual rolers cost. Plus this shuld be more dureble but i might be wrong. Also peaple shuld be carfull pluging in that electrical conector. Mine one of pins wNted to bend but managed to sort out after a little fidle and back working again

I did it, and offer a help, clean bar and apply a little liquid soap, slip on new warm rubber rollers 3/4 way, then rinse off soap and then push all the way and again rinse soap, it took me a minute to get roller on very easy.

I am a 60 year old woman. I was able to follow the steps and change out the wheels myself. But I will say it takes a lots of patients due to the small screws and pieces and you can’t get into where you need to do it. Took me about 2 1/2 hours.

Yes, it does take patience. Glad you got them changed and hope you will not have to again.

On soaking , just until water starts cooling off. Place rod in freezer overnight to make it easier.
