    • To remove the cover from the connecting joint, use an iFixit opening tool, and pry around the perimeter of the cover to release it.

    • Applying too much pressure to this can break it as it is very fragile.

    • There is some adhesive holding the cover, so it may take some patience and finesse to pry the cover off.

    • Remove the cover from the connecting joint and set it aside.

    The outer two attachment points of my Cricut were actually glued on, and I had to reach in with the torx driver and remove them while the strip was still on, to be able to get the lid off. On inspection, there would have been no way to lift the strip off in the way described here.

    • Remove the four, 10 mm Torx TR8 security screws holding the lid in place.

    • Turn the device around, so that the back is facing you.

    • Look for the small rectangles along the back of the device. For every two rectangles, there is one cylindrical connector in between the two.

    • Wedge one or two iFixit opening picks in the seam connecting the Top Door to the device, and use the iFixit opening tool to pry upwards along the seam.

    • These actions should reveal the cylindrical connectors.

    The lid of my Cricut maker 3 was removable by pulling upwards, while the lid was still open. It slides right off. The prying approach as described in this step is unnecessary, and could break the attachment points if forced.

    • Press down on the lid.

    • Push the lid outwards to free it from the jointed clasps.

    Where is/are the steps to get to the point of seeing the motor? I've got the top cover off, but that doesn't reveal the motor. There are steps missing between 4 and 5.

    There are x7 small screws on the inside upper panel that have to be removed as well as x4 long screws under the feet of the machine.

    I had to turn on my machine and send a project to it to have the cutter mechanism move out of the way to remove some of the screws. Once all the screws have been removed the case can be pulled away, but you have to be careful when removing because there are some wires connecting the buttons on the case to the harddrive.

    • Using your hands or an opening tool, remove the four foot pads covering four screws.

    • Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove four 41 mm screws from the feet.

  6. Cricut Maker Motor Replacement: stap 6, afbeelding 1 van 3 Cricut Maker Motor Replacement: stap 6, afbeelding 2 van 3 Cricut Maker Motor Replacement: stap 6, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Remove the seven screws (Four 8.5 mm screws, and three 12.5 mm screws) on the bottom of the device, this will allow you to remove the cover later on.

    • Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the four 8.5 mm screws from the bottom of the device.

    • Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the three 12.5 mm screws.

    • Turn the device on its side.

    • To remove the seven 10 mm screws from the underside of the top of the device, use a Phillips #1 screwdriver with the flex extension.

    A right-angle attachment can also be used. A mechanic's mirror is also helpful because you can't really see a few of the screws unless you're a contortionist.

    • Lift the top case off of the base of the device.

    • After removing this cover, the internals of the device will be exposed.

    When removing the top of the case, be sure to disconnect the daughter board on the right side of the machine.

    • Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove four 10 mm screws on the side of the device next to the motors.

    • Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the two 22 mm screws.

  10. Cricut Maker Motor Replacement: stap 10, afbeelding 1 van 3 Cricut Maker Motor Replacement: stap 10, afbeelding 2 van 3 Cricut Maker Motor Replacement: stap 10, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove two 10 mm screws. These are parallel to one another, one on either side of the machine.

    • Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove two 8mm screws, these are also directly parallel to one another on either side of the machine.

    Note the empty screw hole in the second photo, on the front, just beneath the plastic fin.

    How was this removed without damaging the fin?
    Hint: Since we've already removed the screws holding the right side cover in Step 9, the cover could be moved inward, providing access to that screw, IF we had already removed the lid attachment/hinge mechanism and rear inside cover.

    • Unplug the bundled connector from the motor on both sides of the machine. To to avoid damage, coax the connector out of the socket gently using a spudger.

    I need to replace that bundled connector cord - where can I find one?

    • Using a Phillips #1 screwdriver, remove one 10 mm screw from both sides of the machine. This will release wires that are screwed into the sides of device.

    • Once the screws are removed and wires detached, the main body can be lifted off the base, and set aside.

  13. Cricut Maker Motor Replacement: stap 13, afbeelding 1 van 3 Cricut Maker Motor Replacement: stap 13, afbeelding 2 van 3 Cricut Maker Motor Replacement: stap 13, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Remove a total of seven 10 mm screws from the underside of the door.

    • One side of the base has two 10mm screws.

    • The other side of the base has five 10 mm screws.

    Why is this step here, and not a step to remove the lid attachment hinge mechanism and rear inside cover?
    It is not necessary to remove the front door for this procedure.

    • Pry the door from hinges using an iFixit opening tool.

    • Lift upwards and towards you, to remove the door from the hinges.

  15. Cricut Maker Motor Replacement, Motor: stap 15, afbeelding 1 van 2 Cricut Maker Motor Replacement, Motor: stap 15, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the four 5 mm screws that attach the motor on the left side of the machine.

    In this step, we can see the lid attachment hinge mechanism has been removed.

    How was that done? And how are the damper/spring units adjusted after they are reinstalled?

    I also don't know why this motor needs to be removed to replace a belt.

    Remove the black screws on the right side first. When re-assembling, install them first.

    • Remove the motor by pulling it from the device.

    No need to remove this for a belt replacement.

    • Under the motor there is a white plastic gear. To remove it, gently pull it off the axle.

  18. Cricut Maker Motor Replacement: stap 18, afbeelding 1 van 2 Cricut Maker Motor Replacement: stap 18, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Remove the washer from the top screw above the motor.

    • We found it was easier done by hand.

    That "washer" is properly known as an "E-clip".

    Do you know here i can get a replacement for the large white gear that drives the belt?

    • Remove the two 5 mm screws from the remaining motor on the opposite side, using a Phillips #2 screwdriver.

    I fail to see why this motor needs to be removed from it's bracket.

    Steps 21 and 22 should already have been done first, then you can just push the axle pin out, and free the gear from the belt.

Bonjour,

Merci pour vos précisions c’est parfait comme tuto mais quels sont les signaux de la cricut nous alarmant que c’est une panne de moteur ? Car ma machine en l’occurrence fait un drôle de bruit au démarrage mais je ne sais pas d’où vient la panne ni le centre d’assistance de cricut d’ailleurs à part me conseiller d’en acheter une autre. Pouvez-vous peut-être me conseiller ?

Merci d’avance

Fanny
