We put a duct tape warning inside for next time to remember! I havev a V and having problems getting it to vacuum. The bag seal works and the gasket surfaces are all spotless. The vacuum process starts but does not continue. It does work erratically. It is 2 years old and has been used sporadically. Hope you can help. I am experiencing the same issue as Jim. Upper seal arm is not releasing and the unit will not unlock. My V has suction however it does not stop and seal or turn off when using a canister.
First light comes on and second light does not. Have to manually turn off or hit seal to stop suction. Can this be fixed? Having trouble with the V that I just got. What can I do to make it seal the first side of the bag? V several years old and no problems previous. Occasionally it will stop and we can get one bag sealed and then the bar begins raising and lowering again non-stop.
Problem and repair? Thank you very much! I have a v unit. It feels like they will tear. I have a V unit and it all lights up but when you try to seal a bag nothing happens. All the seals have been cleaned.
Any ideas what I can try next? I have a V and it will not open for cleaning. When you press the 2 green blocks on the edges, they unlatch, but the unit will not open. Any idea what is wrong? I recently replaced the seals on my V The door does not shut all the way. The seal is too thick. I have to apply some downward pressure to the door before the latch will catch and lock it down.
Then when I press the Vacuum and Seal button it pulls really hard and quickly pulls all the air out, then I can hear a switch, and it releases some air and just keeps vacuuming until I either stop it or push the Seal button. There is a black tape where you slide the bag into the sealer. It has come loose and it makes it almost impossible to slide in the bag. Hence, the unit does not work. This is the 2nd. Any suggestions? I unplugged the unit for 30 mins when I plug it back in the 3 green lights are still flashing thats all it does.
I tried pushing the black bag senor button trying to get the machine to reset itself with no results. Is there anyway to fix this problem? I have a FoodSaver V that my daughter bought for me 2 Christmases ago. I used it a little when I first got it. I get frustrated and hit the on button with my fist and voila!
It turned on! So I did my veggies and just unplugged it to turn it off. Any suggestions besides throwing it out and getting another one? I really like this unit if it would work properly! Thank yoy!! Sounds like you may have cracked some component in your vacuum button which sometimes, hey, does make it turn on!
If there are cracks, these will be pretty much impossible to fix, though there may be some workarounds, depending on how clever you are. Good luck! I used on older model Foodsaver for years with no problems. It finally died and I had a couple boxes of Seal a Meal rolls left over.
I just bought a brand new Foodsaver V As far as I can tell, the Seal a Meal rolls make bags with a good seal. I follow the same process for both types.
Anyone have any ideas? I would like to know if you can give me any advice please? The start light does not come on, and it does not seal, using the correct bag I have3rolls of them. Can it be fixed? Yes or No. The drip trays are clean, something I stay on top of. The gaskets were a little dirty, but that was easy to clean up. It vacuums just fine, however, after the cycle ends, it burns not seals about a quarter inch on each side, with the space in the middle staying wide open.
My seal button does not work. If I use pre-made bags, they will seal at the end of the vacuum cycle as normal, but I cannot stop the cycle early using the seal button thus cannot store more delicate items, like bread and I cannot make my own bags — and I have a three-pack of the rolls I recently bought!
Have had the food saver V for years. Keep in the a drawer in the kitchen, now the exterior is very sticky. Has anyone else every had this problem and know of a solution? I have exactly the same problem. All black parts are very sticky, seems like the plastic is covered by a glue like substance.
I am trying to seal up some ham. It will seal an empty bag though. What do I need to do. I have a V It has been such a great tool in the kitchen. Recently it was used to seal away quite a large amount of food.
During the process, it did over heat as expected. Time was given to cool down and get cleaned. On the last few bags, it did overheat again.
When I tried to release the top with the green buttons , it would release the bottom. Almost like the tray was not replaced properly and is locked. Any solutions? Like several of the others, my seal bar is loose and has locked my unit. I use my Food Saver a lot, and this is the third one with the exact same problem. I pitched the other two, but took this one apart.
I can now open it properly, but the seal bar is still loose and falls down when I close it. There appears to be a sensor that is turning off the unit. I just received a for Christmas. It is sealing but does not appear to be vacuuming airtight. It does not vacuum all the air. Model V My unit does not heat up. There is no power light. The outlet works. Is this the end of my sealer? Hi I foodsaver model v has electrical problem I want to open down cover how open down cove after removing scroow please guide me Thanks.
I have had my food saver for about 10 years. It is probably a bad sensor. I expect more from a company that advertises top quality but delivers up inferior products and does little to stand behind their products. Just my 2 cents. Good Luck with yours. Hallo — habe einen V — bisher einwandfrei. Die Dichtung habe ich schon gereinigt.
Vakuumierung funktioniert auch nicht. Foodsaver Produkte sind Schrott, garbage. Man braucht nur die Kommentare hier lesen und dann wissen Sie, was man am Besten damit macht, in den Muelleimer damit.
I have opened a new roll of bags, made sure the bag was big enough and cleaned the gasket but still have the problem. Anything else I can try? I purchased a V and the machine will not vacuum completely unless I put my finger over the accessory port. The gray ring around the accessory port is cracked.
Seal something while the sealant is wet to suck some sealant into the crack. I have 3 Foodsavers now… One I bought new, the others I bought used. This is due to them always failing… Well, my daughter received one recently as a gift new and loaned it to me… I have used it for about 2 weeks.. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and after a couple tries it came on… NOW, the lights blink on briefly when I plug it in but quickly go out again.
I repeat the process and I get the same results. What is going on with Foodsaver? I am not going to spend another penny on these things unless I can get some action on this machine.

My Foodsaver V got stuck in the seal position when prepping a bag, so I turned it off.
I have the same problem as Cheryl. I have the same problem with my v as Cheryl n Candy has. Does no one on here reply to any of these comments? My foodsaver I use it to seal chicken legs for my dog food it will seal about five legs then the red light will flash then I have to wait for at least 5 min. Some time it takes me an hr to get all of the legs sealed.
Or is there one that is more industrial that will take the extra work? Is there anything I can do. Plug in other appliances in the outlet and they work fine. Just got it today brand new. I have modelV I have only used it about ten times, total. I feel like throwing it away. I hey so mad I want to get my hammer and beat it and then throw it away and be done with it anyone know how to fix this junk.
I have the same problem. I have a FoodSaver V and the arm will not come down far enough to meet the sealing strip that activates the sealing mechanism. My unit V was not sealing. My unit is pretty old, but when you need it, you need it!
I cleaned it and did all that it ask, still no seal. I then took the foam sealing rings out and soaked them in water, just a few seconds, dried them and then put them back in. That did the trick. Works as good a new. Thank you for your post. I would say that wiping with a damp cloth was not enough.
Completely cover the seal with water, like washing clothes, then take out and dry with a towel and put it back in. The sponge seal gets depressed over time and needs to fluff back up. Try it.
