Introduction

When challenged by malfunctions of Cricut Maker machines, things can result in difficulty and stress. A common malfunction is the instability of loading in Cricut mats due to worn-out rubber rollers. Only further assistance can be done by a Cricut Maker owner after a year of warranty if actions are taken within one's hands.

Instead of tossing a Cricut Maker machine due to malfunctions, with this guide, replacing rubber rollers from a Cricut Maker machine can be the resolution for more opportunities in creating projects.

    • Replacing the rubber rollers begins with the movement of removing the top white rectangle plaque that sits at the top of the Cricut.

    • Use a 1.5mm flat-head bit for removal of the plastic white plaque.
