FAQ
Why is my FoodSaver vacuuming but not sealing?
Why is my vacuum sealed bag not staying sealed?
Is it better to dry or moist FoodSaver vacuum sealer?
How often should you replace the gaskets of your FoodSaver vacuum sealing system?
Why is my Food Saver vacuum sealer not sealing?
Your Food Saver Vacuum Sealer might not be sealing due to several reasons such as overheating, a wet or wrinkled bag, food debris or a damaged gasket, too much liquid in the bag, improper bag placement, or a damaged or malfunctioning heating bar.
Why is my FoodSaver not vacuuming?
Excess liquids from moist foods can cause the unit not to vacuum and permanent damage can occur. Test the FoodSaver by operating it without a bag. Allow the unit to complete the cycle. When the unit shuts off, lift the lid and gently touch the heat/sealing strip. If the strip is hot, please try to seal another bag.
Do FoodSaver bags need to be vacuum sealed?
Vacuum sealing works best when certain conditions are met, such as dryness. So, whenever I see a FoodSaver not sealing (or any other brand), I always check the bag. To properly vacuum seal your bags and the food inside them, your vacuum sealer must come into contact with a dry surface.
Why is my FoodSaver v825 not sealing?
If the seal control switch is correctly selected, but the FoodSaver V825 is still not sealing, it’s likely that the unit is overheated. If you have to seal multiple bags, it’s recommended that you give your machine a 20-second break between each seal. This is because, in some cases, the vacuum sealer machine stops working when it’s overheated.
