Remove the blade housing, then remove the blade and ensure that there are not any bits of paper stuck to the blade or lodged inside the blade housing. Ensure that you replace the blade housing correctly into the machine. Once clean, test your cuts again. If the blade and housing are already free from debris, or cleaning it did not help, proceed to 3.

Try an arm buoyancy test: gently press down on the black arms that surround the blade housing and then release them. Do they bounce right back up, or do they stick or rub in any way? If they stick or rub, please contact Customer Care through one of the options below for further assistance. If they bounce right back up when released, proceed to 4.

Increase the machine pressure settings and try your cuts again. If this does not change the cut result, proceed to 5.

Increase blade depth by turning the dial at the top of the blade housing. If this does not change the cut result, proceed to 6.

Perform a Hard Reset on the machine. If this does not help, proceed to 7.

Check your machine's firmware version. If the firmware is not up to date, perform a Firmware Update using Cricut Craft Room, a Gypsy device, or Cricut Design Studio.

I was told to oil the blade and clean it well and it will cut again.

has the blade drive belt come off or broken

Your deck belt need tighten

try pushing the blade up into the deck,,,if there is any lift in it there is the fault,,the top nut has come off the blabe drive pully and let the drive shaft drop a little this will lower the cutting blade,,,fix it before the blade falls right out

You lost the plastic blade guard, order from supply company

alignment is of and blade needs cleaning and oiling

A: Is the blade on right?

B: Is the belt on the pulley?

C: Is the blade tight on the spindle?

D: Does the spindle turn freely with the belt off?

I can't think of any other possibilities

You probably need a new blade drive, which is easily replaced yourself, if you are so inclined.
