My Cricut Explore Air 2 Won’t Cut [Solved]

[Elisa Wilson]

If your Cricut Explore Air machine is not able to cut all the way to your material or if it is only scoring the material, then this blog is for you. These types of issues can arise after prolonged use of the Cricut machine. Fortunately, there are methods to solve them. And in this blog, we’ll discuss them in detail. So, without further ado, let’s begin.


How To Solve Cricut Explore Air 2 Not Cutting Issue
Ensure that the selected material setting in the Design Space or on your Smart Set Dial is the same as your material. In the Cricut Explore models with a Smart Set Dial, if your dial is fixed to Custom, please make sure that the Custom Materials list is already selected.
After that, open Clamp B and then remove the blade holder from your Cricut Machine. Also, ensure that you’re using a Cricut brand blade. Always check the blade holder and remove all the dirt that may have accumulated in the holder. Once you have cleaned the holder, remove all the dirt and waste that might have accumulated on the sides of the holder. If the Cricut machine still didn’t cut after the cleaning, you can proceed to the next step, i.e., step 3.
Now increase the pressure for your material by changing the settings by 2-4 by opening the Manage Custom Materials. You might have to change the pressure settings 2 to 3 times by increments of 2 to 4 to experience a modification in the cutting result.
You can try cutting another type of material like printer paper or using any other appropriate setting for the material. By doing this, if you see the same result, then there might be a problem with the original material you’re trying to cut.
You should attempt to Restore the blade you’re using with a new Cricut blade, as the blades do become dull with usage, and it requires replacement over time with a new strap and sharp blade, which mostly resolves the issues
If your problem still exists, even after completing all the steps, contact Member Care for assistance.
