SOURCE: V2240 doesn't seal bags with liquid in it
You can not vacum liquid. If you do soups or stews freeze first in plastic container and pop out and freeze frozen food in bag. Also when doing fresh meats freeze just enough to solidify the jucies about 1-2 hours them vacum. I have had mine for five years and through trial and error have found this works excellent. Hope it helps, good luck.

try using a small bead of high quality,high tempature silicon caulk. put bead over existing seal and make sure it cures thoroughly before closing or you will never be able to open it

This is likely happening because the unit cannot detect that a vacuum has formed, and the gaskets around the vacuum channel are 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.
