    Why does air re-enter the FoodSaver bag after vacuuming?
    • A
      Aimee BallAug 15, 2025
      Air may re-enter the bag due to several reasons: A wrinkle along the seal may cause air to re-enter, so gently stretch the bag flat while inserting it into the drip tray. Moisture or food material along the seal can prevent proper sealing; in this case, cut the bag open, wipe the top inside, and reseal. Sharp food items may have punctured the bag, requiring a new bag. Also, fermentation or the release of natural gases from the foods may have occurred, indicating spoilage, and the food should be discarded.

      If your FoodSaver bag isn't sealing correctly, ensure the appliance is turned on and that there's not too much liquid in the bag (freeze before vacuuming if necessary). Check for food debris around the seal areas. If the bag has wrinkles, gently stretch it flat while inserting it into the drip tray. If the appliance has overheated, wait several minutes for it to cool down.

      Several factors can prevent the FoodSaver from vacuuming air: If you're making a bag from a roll, ensure one end is sealed, and adjust the bag before trying again. Make sure the open end of the bag is correctly positioned inside the drip tray. Check for any wrinkles in the bag along the sealing strip. Also, open the appliance and inspect the upper gasket for foreign objects, dirt, or debris.

      Angela SmithAug 26, 2025
      To insert a bag into the vacuum sealer, make sure there is enough bag material to reach the center of the drip tray. Always allow about 75mm extra space to allow the bag to seal tightly around the food contents. Gently stretch the bag flat while inserting it into the drip tray.

      Tasha ZamoraSep 1, 2025
      The seal light on your FoodSaver may be flashing because the appliance is overheated or the vacuum pump has been running for more than 120 seconds. Wait several minutes for the appliance to cool down.

      The sealing strip may have become too hot. Always wait at least 20 seconds for the appliance to cool down before you vacuum seal another item. It is also recommended to use FoodSaver® brand bags.
