How to Reset Cricut Explore One
Are you experiencing issues with your Cricut Explore One machine? Resetting it can often resolve common problems and get your crafting back on track. Whether you’re dealing with connectivity issues, a frozen screen, or simply want to restore your machine to its factory settings, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to reset your Cricut Explore One.
Step 1: Power Off the Machine
Before you begin, make sure your Cricut Explore One is turned off. This is important to prevent any damage or data loss during the reset process.
Step 2: Locate the Reset Button
The reset button is typically located on the back of the machine. It may be a small, recessed button, so you may need a thin object like a paperclip or a safety pin to press it.
Step 3: Press and Hold the Reset Button
Using the thin object, press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds. You should see the machine’s screen light up and display the Cricut logo.
Step 4: Release the Reset Button
After 10 seconds, release the reset button. The machine should now restart automatically.
Step 5: Connect to Cricut Design Space
Once the machine has restarted, connect it to your computer or mobile device using the USB cable. Open the Cricut Design Space app and sign in to your account.
Step 6: Update the Machine’s Firmware
If prompted, update the machine’s firmware to the latest version. This will ensure that your machine is running smoothly and taking advantage of the latest features.
Step 7: Restore Factory Settings (Optional)
If you want to restore your Cricut Explore One to its factory settings, follow these additional steps:
1. In the Cricut Design Space app, go to the “Settings” menu.
2. Select “Machine” and then “Cricut Explore One.”
3. Click on “Restore to Factory Settings” and confirm the action.
Please note that restoring to factory settings will erase all of your saved projects, cuts, and settings. Make sure to back up any important files before proceeding.
