I wish to install a new vacuum pump and a heat ribbon in my Foodsaver V 2240. Please tell me how I can acquire these parts. My food saver has worked well for years but I cannot afford to replace it and that probably would include sending it off for repairs. I'm good at refurbishing machines but would enjoy a repair manual if available. Thank you in advance for your help.

Based on the information provided, it sounds like there may be an issue with the heating element of your FoodSaver VS6621, which is preventing it from sealing properly. Here are a few things you can try to fix the problem:

1. Clean the sealing strip: Over time, the sealing strip on your FoodSaver can become dirty or worn, which can prevent it from creating a proper seal. Try cleaning the sealing strip with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris.
2. Check the heating element: As you mentioned, the resistance of the heat wire was zero, which may indicate that the heating element has failed. If this is the case, you may need to replace the heating element. Check the manufacturer's website or manual for instructions on how to do this.
3. Check the vacuum channel: If the vacuum channel is clogged or dirty, this can also prevent the FoodSaver from sealing properly. Try cleaning the vacuum channel with a damp cloth and ensuring that it is clear of any obstructions.

If none of these solutions work, it may be best to contact the manufacturer or a professional repair service for further assistance.

My machine stopped working because the sealing ribbon was broken and the tape was worn. FoodSaver no longer does repairs. I knew the wire was called nichcome ribbon so I searched that. I checked the resistance of the ribbon on my machine, it was about 3.8 ohms. I found a site called mpakonline.com and from their site I bought 1/16 x .005 nichrome ribbon and 3/8 x 5 MIL. x 18 YD Acrylic Teflon Tape. The total cost of these items was about $36.00, the ohm value of their ribbon was 1.66 somewhat less.I used ends from radio shack made the repair and it has been working fine for the last two months and I have enough material leftover for about ten more repairs.
