On the left side of the Cricut, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the three 7.3 mm‑long screws securing the roller bar motor assembly.

Be careful not to lose the washer and locking washer under each screw.

During reassembly:

Make sure each screw has a washer and locking washer, with the locking washer between the washer and the head of the screw.

Make sure the grounding wire is secured to the body of the Cricut with the top‑left screw.
