If your FoodSaver bag isn't sealing properly, it might be due to too much liquid in the bag. Try freezing the bag contents before vacuuming. To prevent wrinkles in the seal, gently stretch the bag flat while inserting it into the vacuum channel and hold it until the vacuum pump starts. You can also create a second seal above the first one to ensure a proper seal.
What to do if nothing happens when pressing Vac/Seal or Seal button on FoodSaver Kitchen Appliance?
If nothing happens when you press the Vac/Seal or Seal button, first, make sure the unit is plugged in and that the wall outlet is functional. Then, open the latch, ensure the lid is completely down, and re-latch the lid.
Why is my FoodSaver Kitchen Appliance pump running for more than 2 minutes?
If the pump runs for more than 2 minutes without vacuuming the bag and no visible air is coming out, ensure the bag is inserted with the curl down in the vacuum channel. Check that both the top and bottom gaskets are properly inserted and that at least one end of the bag is sealed. Also, inspect the gaskets for any foreign objects, dirt, or debris. Ensure there's enough room at the top of the bag (3 inches) to fit to the middle of the drip tray with the lid closed and latched, and that the accessory hose is not attached. Make sure the lid is fully latched. Avoid storing the unit in a locked position, as this compresses the gaskets; if this has occurred, leave the door open to allow the gaskets to expand.
What to do if the Red Seal LED flashes on FoodSaver Kitchen Appliance?
If the Red Seal LED is flashing on your FoodSaver, it could be due to several reasons. The unit might be overheated; in this case, wait 20 minutes for it to cool down. If you're trying to seal the end of a roll to make a bag, ensure the bag is correctly positioned on the seal strip. Also, if storing the unit, make sure the latch is in the 'Store' position, not the 'Locked' position, as the latter can compress the gaskets over time. Replacement gaskets are available for purchase by calling 1-877-777-8042 if needed.
