Resetting your Cricut Explore Air 2 means restarting the machine. This is usually done to fix issues like freezing during operation or improper cutting. A reset is an effective way to troubleshoot minor and major problems with the machine. Below, you’ll find two methods to reset your Cricut Explore Air 2.

Method 1: Basic Reset

This method involves a few simple steps to reset the machine. Follow the steps below:

Step 1: Turn Off the Machine

  1. First, press and hold the power button on the top of the machine to turn it off. 
  2. Unplug the machine’s power cord from the electrical outlet.
Wait for a minute after turning off the machine. This allows the machine to cool down and resolve minor glitches.

Step 2: Turn On the Machine

  1. Reconnect the power cord to the electric outlet. 
  2. Then, press the power button on the Cricut Explore Air 2 to turn it on.

Method 2: Using the Button Reset

A button reset is useful if the cutting mat doesn’t load materials or the carriage (which holds blades and accessories) is not working properly. Here are the steps to perform a button reset.
  1. Turn off the machine by disconnecting its power cord from the power switch and pressing its power button. 
  2. Then, press three buttons together—the Load/Unload button, the C-button, and the power button on the Cricut Explore Air 2. 
  3. Hold these buttons for a while and then release them all slowly. 
The machine will then reset. Keep in mind that the Cricut Explore Air 2 doesn’t have a physical reset button, so you must press three buttons at the same time to reset it.
