Why is the seal leaking on my Henkovac T2?
- C
  Cassandra GilmoreAug 5, 2025
  If the seal is leaking on your Henkovac Kitchen Appliances, it could be due to several reasons: * The package seam may be poorly formed. Try increasing the sealing time and/or reducing the MAP gas pressure. * The package seam might be burnt. Decrease the sealing time. * The opening of the vacuum bag could be contaminated. Try again, ensuring the bag opening stays clean. * The sealing beam might be dirty. Clean the sealing beam. * The Teflon lining of the sealing beam could be damaged. Replace the Teflon lining. * The silicon rubber seal in the counter beam might be damaged. Replace the silicon rubber seal.
