Top 20 FoodSaver Food Saver V3835 Vacuum Sealer Regular & Wide Mouth Jar Sealers Access Questions & Answers

Have the same problem. I'm looking for a solution too. The tray is dry and clean as a whistle. I cleaned all elect. connections and even dryed it all around with a hair dryer.

Question edited for a lot more clarity. Question moved from Clothes Dryers. It looks like there is very little support from the company but generic spares are found on Amazon. https://www.google.com/search?q=foodsaver+fm2100+replace+heat+sealer ..

This is from a Benjaman post last year....... "My tray and contacts were perfect but the error persisted. I hacked the unit by unplugging the 3 pin connector that run from the contacts to the controller board. This got rid of the tray full error light and allowed me to resume using the unit. I will just have to check the tray manually when sealing wet foods." Best to you

Odds are it is dirty and the vacuum sensor is plugged. That makes it think the vacuum is complete. So it seals. Check the instructions or a youtube and clean it. You need to use the exact cleaning instructions. Odds are that will fix it.

Request the wiring diagram from FoodSaver.

Hi, if you go to YouTube, you will find a video showing you what to do, I hope this helps

There's could be several elements to look into; -is the vacuum still working or it stopped.? .if it stopped without sealing chances are that the heating wire is broken. if it's still try to vaccum, the seals probably not doing their and the expected vacuum levels are not reached. To test that you can moister the foams seals with a paper towels. If that worked, think about replacing the seals. To deal with the sealing wire, you usually have to pull off a teflon tape to see it. I do believe that you can have a replacement for the wire. I personally never had to replace one.

The black foam seals are not doing their job anymore then. You may humidify them with a paper towel for a quick but it won't last. The vacuum sealer is expected to reach a certain level before automatically sealing it. There is foam replacments available through ebay and amazon.

Chances are that you foam gasket are not doing their job anymore. You can make a test by humidifying them with a paper towel. If it's works, you are due to replace them. They will usually last about 2 to 3 years depending on the use. They are available through ebay or Amazon

Go to their website to get new foam seals for your model.

If it appears that the vacuum pump is working well and the seals around the vacuum chamber are clean, it may be a bad vacuum switch on the circuit board. Turn it over and take out the screws. Inside there will be a small 2x2 circuit board with a 1" round device (the vacuum switch) with a clear tube going from it to the vacuum pump. On my unit, liquid got into this and rusted the spring so that the contacts and contact plate were corroded and would not make a good electrical contact. I un-soldered mine from the board, took it apart (by cutting away the edge of the reddish-brown cover) cleaned it all up till the contacts and contact plate were nice and shiny, and clamped and super-glued it back together. Works great now. Make sure you note how far in the vacuum adjustment screw is so you can get it back to the same position. Or, you may wish to just buy a new vacuum switch off of ebay.

It is possible the port is plugged try cleaning it.
