If you see an orange light blinking on your Cricut Mug Press, it is normal. No need to panic; your press is in Connect (setup) mode. You might still need to finish the setup or update the software at cricut.com/setup.
To troubleshoot the blinking orange light and get your machine working again, try the following fixes:
Simply press the power button to turn off the press.
Take the cord out of the outlet and check if all the lights turn off.
Wait for a while (recommended 30 to 60 seconds).
Plug the cord back in and power on the press.
Connect the press to your computer using a USB cable.
Open any browser and go to cricut.com/setup to access Design Space.
When on the Design From, select “New Machine Setup” from the menu on the left.
Next, follow the steps to update the firmware.
If the update fails, use a different USB cable or port.
If the press is stuck, turn it off.
Press and release the power button just once (do not hold).
Wait for the press to restart.
