I have a foodsaver, model V3840, supposed to release the bottom when green buttons are pushed, it is not unlocking.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Laundry Dryers.

How on earth did you manage to plug in a 110 volt plug into a 220 volt socket? There is no service manual for these units. Return it to them for warranty repair. There is one video that may help.

It would be a warranty issue.

you are not using a "good" bag. Make sure there are no holes and that the bottom and sides of the bag are properly sealed. It will run all day and not pull the air out if the seal is broken anywhere.

Plug it in and let the sealing motor complete it's cycle to allow it to pivot.

Mine did that when I interrupted the cycle. I plugged it in and let the motor fully open the sealing chamber then I was able to pivot open the machine.

I had the same problem and got this information from Foodsaver:

Turn Foodsaver unbit on and press the cabncel button. That should release the unit for cleaning.

It worked for me!
