I need to find replacement parts for compact Foodsaver by Tillia.
It is a few years old, works great still but when I moved, I lost the hose, hose fitting, hood and inside gasket that all go together to seal jars. The new models don't have this for sealing a regular jar, instead you have to buy custom jars from them instead of Mason Jars which I need to seal. Is there any place I can get parts to replace this assembly?

It sounds like you are having some issues with your FoodSaver vacuum sealer. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem:
Make sure that the FoodSaver is plugged in and turned on.
Check the sealing strip on the vacuum sealer to make sure it is clean and free of debris. A dirty or damaged sealing strip can prevent the vacuum sealer from working properly.
Check the vacuum bag to make sure it is properly positioned in the vacuum sealer. The bag should be inserted with the open end facing the sealing strip.
Make sure that the bag is not too full. Overfilling the bag can prevent the vacuum sealer from working properly.
If the problem persists, you may need to take the FoodSaver to a repair center for further diagnosis and repair.
Does it hum as though it's vacuuming? If not, it's probably broken - the vacuum pump is out. It's cheaper to get a new one than attempt to get the old one fixed. If it hums, then replace any hoses you find or the foam around the drip tray.
The hose cuff is manufactured as part of the complete hose assembly, and it's not possible to remove or replace the cuff without damaging the hose.
However, if your hose has been damaged, it would be worth getting in touch with us directly. Our experts will be able to confirm if we're able to help under the terms of our 5-year guarantee. You can reach us on 0800 298 0298 (UK) or 1-866-693-9766 (US).
This is a problem with the hose, and unfortunately it will require replacement of the entire assembly.
The SES-125 hoses produced in the general vicinity of late 2002 had a tendency to start building up static and kicking the motor off after a few years. The problem was rectified, and the more current hoses do not have this problem.
Head to your friendly neighborhood Miele dealer and get a new hose, and this problem will not occur again.
Do you have the same problem in all of your outlets? If you do, then there is a problem with the hose end. If it is only at one outlet, then that outlet has a problem.
YOU DON'T SAY IF YOU HAVE THE NEWER HOSE OR THE CLASSIC ONE WITH THE STEEL TIP (BETTER DESIGN). IF IT'S THE LATTER UN-SCREW THE SCREW CLOSEST TO THE STEEL TIP,TAKE A SMALL SCREW DRIVER AND LIFT THE THE PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT WAS SCREWED DOWN JUST ENOUGH TO SLIP THE HOSE OUT.
WHAT YOU'LL BE FACED WITH IS SOMETHING I WOULDN'T SUGGEST CUTTING.
IT MAY BE MORE PRACTICAL BUYING A NEW HOSE. AN ELECTROLUX WILL LAST FOREVER,BUT YOU DO HAVE TO REPLACE THINGS LIKE THE COMBO DUST/UPHULSTRY ATTACHMENT. THE HOSE IS PROBABLY THE FIRST THING YOU WOULD NEED TO REPLACE BECAUSE OF AIR LEAKS. I'VE HAD MY OLYMPIA ONE FOR 27 YEARS AND HAD TO REPLACE THE HOSE ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO. YOUR CHOICE.
