SOURCE: My foodsaver Vac 420 Vacuum Sealer won't heat and

This is likely happening because the unit cannot detect that a vacuum has formed, and because of this, the unit will not seal the bags, with the gaskets around the vacuum channel being the probable culprit. The Foodsaver gaskets will deform and/or dry out with time, just like in any device, but you don't necessarily have to replace them. I've tried this inexpensive solution on my own Foodsaver V2490, and it works perfectly.
Buy some food-grade silicone grease and apply it to both the upper and lower gaskets. I remove the gaskets and coat both sides with a thin layer of grease before replacing them in their respective channels. And since this grease will be absorbed and/or dry out with time, you will have to do this occasionally, so I also flip the gaskets (i.e. turn them over) whenever I apply the grease.
You can buy a 2 oz container of silicone grease at any dive store, or you can buy it over the Internet by searching for "Trident silicone grease".
This is a link where you can buy it for around $7.00:
Dolphin Dive Center
I do not work at this dive center, but I am a scuba diver and already had some grease that I use for the numerous rubber gaskets in my gear. The 2 oz. jar will last you several years, and you will find many other uses for it around the house since the grease will last longer than a spray.

FoodSaver® FM2100 Vacuum Sealing System. How to replace the heat seal on model FM2100 please?

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.

My food saver VS6621 doae not seal anymore.

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.

Need to replace the heat stripe tape on my tilla foodsaver vaccum sealer

concerning my food sealer: the strip under the heating wire came loose & would not stay in place. i almost threw the unit away but its at least $40 to buy another. i decided to buy a roll of PTFE Coated Fiberglass Fabric With Silicone Adhesive Tape. PTFE is Teflon but u cant use Teflon as a search term because of the copyright. i found a roll on ebay for $3 (free ship) from China (how do they do that!). it took about 2 weeks for the roll to arrive. I cut a strip to fit under the wire. The wire had burned & partially buried itself in the unprotected plastic. Be gentle when nudging it out & clean off any material that has attached itself to the wire. Seals & works like new!
would you like to buy the rest of the roll? the roll has about 28 feet left.

Vacum works heatseal does not seal can i replace seal

Sealing always tends to be the problem with FoodSaver because during the course of normal wear and tear, the sealing strip and wire will naturally need to be replaced.

You can get replacement heating wires and strips at www.elementandteflon.com

We started out selling just replacement parts for heat impulse sealers but we kept on getting customer requests for FoodSaver parts so we've added that section to our website.

Foodsaver compact vac 550 sealing strip doesn't seal

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.
