My Cricut Expression is not working. How do I fix it?

1. Use a different browser

Cricut works with most web browsers, but its level of compatibility varies from browser to browser. While this is not always the reason why your Cricut Expression is not working, we recommend that you first use Cricut with a browser they recommend before proceeding.

The internet browsers recommended to use with Cricut are Opera One, UR Browser, Mozilla Firefox, and Edge. For an in-depth comparison of these browsers, check out our best browsers for Circut guide.

Once you have the incompatibility issue figured out, we also suggest you look into how well your browser performs in general. We recommend you use a browser with high-speed rates such as Opera One.

The tool is modern and easy to use and you can really make it your own by using one of its many themes, incorporating the add-ons you need, and integrating your email and social media platforms.

The browser also includes a free VPN that helps you keep your browsing activity and identity private. Plus, you will be able to access geo-restricted content. Another free feature integrated into this browser is an adblocker that will make for a more seamless experience.

⇒ Get Opera One

2. Reset the machine

1. Power on the device and ensure that you do not load a cartridge.
2. Roll all the gray dials – speed, pressure, and size – down to their lowest settings.
3. Next, using two fingers, pull the gray carriage car unit using the gold or green cylinder blade.
4. Locate a red button around where the gray carriage car sits. Press and hold the button for a few seconds.
5. Release the buttons and return the gray carriage to its original position.
6. Next, to eliminate bugs, roll every dial to the top and then back down. For all the dials, repeat this procedure three times.
7. Finally, press Cut and power off the machine and allow it to prepare for around 20 minutes.
8. After that, load a cartridge, power the machine back on.
