Snippet of the game. The screen is narrow because I had a second web browser opened to the left logged on as an opponent. I was actually hoping the recorder would get both sides but it did not.
Foodsaver V2830: How to access the locking mechanism behind the right panel.
มุมมอง 4.2K7 ปีที่แล้ว
This shows you how to remove the right panel on a FoodSaver model v2830. My previous video already showed you how to remove the bottom panel so I didn't cover that a second time.
FoodSaver Has Low Suction
มุมมอง 89K8 ปีที่แล้ว
The pumps in food savers sometimes get clogged with food particles or the gasket dries out and leaks air. This unit is a V2830 but various other units have similar style pumps. My camera shifted the video upside down and sideways several times without my realizing it so I was disappointed in the quality after rotating those shots but it still turned out OK.

The year is 1883. It's Christmas time. The setting is in a poor, small orphanage. Most of the younger children are being adopted today. As for the older children, well, sit back and enjoy the Christmas play! Screenplay by Sharon Kimble, performed by first Casnovia Baptist Church.
FoodSaver Repair
มุมมอง 139K10 ปีที่แล้ว
Repair a FoodSaver that isn't drawing out air anymore. In this case, its not the pump, its the pressure release valve. Also check out my video about fixing the pump at th-cam.com/video/lBEr5W55Onw/w-d-xo.html
Try cleaning the two oval seals on the top that seal around the bag. They can be replaced for about $9.
Those seals can certainly leak air if they get cracked or have food caked on them. Thanks you the reminder.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Just a thought, the vinyl tubing will harden with age and sometimes start leaking at the fittings if disturbed. If you have to take the tubing off of a fitting, you can heat it with a hot air gun to soften the tubing making it easier to remove. Most good hardware or home improvement stores carry replacement vinyl tubing. The short piece of tubing to the pump should have been removed, it would have made it much easier to work on the pump and also remove and reinstall the motor hold down. My Foodsaver needs this maintenance, that's why I watched this video instead of going out to buy a new one.
Hi Kelly - awesome video and channel. I have a V835 and a family member inadvertently used the food saver container filled with OatFlour to seal it without using the coffee filter. Now my food saver won’t seal. Do you think my food saver is clogged with flour? What do you suggest I do? Should I try and take it apart and clean it like one does when it’s clogged with food particles? Hope you’re able to reply. Thanks in advance
Man, I wish you did instructional videos on everything in life. This is probably the most thorough instructional video I’ve ever watched on anything. If I could offer any advice at all, I would say, go ahead and invest in a stand or something for your phone where you don’t have to hold it and you can use both your hands at the same time.but I gave it a light before I even got halfway through it so I didn’t forget. Thanks man.
Amen!!
thanks, I got mine working after searching many videos
I have FoodSaver V2490 that is doing the exact same thing. When I saw your video, I was optimistic I could fix it but the screws to disassemble are not at the same place. I only have 3 screws on the bottom of the unit that are visible. Would you have any suggestions on how to take this one apart to clean the vacuum valve?
I'm not familiar with that model and didn't see any pictures that would help me Don't be afraid to try some things. Definitely look under any stickers and they like to hide them under the rubber feet too. Sometimes you need to slip a screwdriver along the seam and get some inside snap connectors to release.
Vou tentar consertar a minha aqui no Brasil. Não se encontra peças pra reposição, e me parece que pararam de vender essas máquinas por aqui.
Você consegue! Diga-me se você ficar preso.
Very good video. I really appreciate your attention to the details, and keeping on topic. Good job! Thanks😊
I know it's an old video but Thanks ! The take away for everyone who owns any vacuum sealer is don't use it on liquids. This includes meat with blood and liquid. Freeze the meat overnight before sealing it. Freeze soups in a shallow container and then seal it. Most people don't read the instructions that come with the sealer. The number one cause of failure is liquid ingestion. Save yourself a lot of headaches and money. Just an FYI !
@@kellykimble4047 yes I used to also fold a half paper towel at the opening of the bag to catch liquid. It looks nasty but it works. Then I just decided to pre freeze anything " juicy " , lol.
Hi, I just finished watching all of your FoodSaver videos & there great! I'm sure I'll be using them in the future. I was wondering if you'd ever tried to work on or replace the heat strip?
Yes, I have repaired the heat strip. I wanted to do a video on repairing it. The problem tends to be that the springs start to build resistance, then they heat up and burn out. I first tried to clean the bad spring and that worked for a couple months. After that I just pulled it tight and gave up on the spring. It's been working for years now after I fixed that.
@@kellykimble4047 Hi & Thanks for the reply. That's some good info. I appreciate it!
excellent example on how to clean your food saver❤
Kelly et el, Question: V2865: The Automatic Vacuum does not STOP sucking to then go to Seal. Tho, They both work Manually. After watching both of your videos, im confused. Could it be like in this video, its the back part where the spring is. Would a broken spring affect the AUTOMATIC vacuum & seal? Or, in the second video is it the small piece by the pump? I believe its not stopping vacuuming and not getting to seal because its not registering the pressure. Or, could there be an airflow leak? I have put new gaskets on. That did not solve the problem. Im older and its a bit hard for me to take it apart so I would like your best guess as to which I should tackle first. Again, its just the Automatic process that doesnt go from vacuum to seal because the vacuum doesnt stop. Thank you in advance.
@@kellykimble4047 will do and will let you know. Thank you.
Great video thanks
Excellent. Thank you.
Can I marry you? You are so creative and Hands-on! (just kidding about the marrying part!) Great Instructions!
Already married ;-) Thank you for the compliment though and I'm glad they were helpful.
My rubber gasket was stuck down with debris not allowing rubber to move and function as a one way check valve
I'm taking my Food Saver apart tomorrow & checking all the guts to see if mine is having the same problem. It worked properly for about a year & then crapped out. It just won't vacuum properly no matter what I try. My one question: can something besides silicone grease be used? Thanks very much for the detailed video.
I have a Foodsaver V850 that I have used less than 10 times. It worked last week, but when I plugged it in today, there was no power. I have tried different outlets, but still no power. Do you have any thoughts as to where I start?
It's nothing more than an old automobile windshield washer fluid pump!
Interesting thought. Maybe that's where they got the idea.
Great video. In my case after taking it apart and finding everything clean reassembled tested still not working then I placed my finger over the PORT on top for remote sealing and it started work. 😂
I know this video is really old but do you know what is the purpose of that switch that you cleaned?
@@kellykimble4047 thanks!
My jar sealer will not retract
Thanks for the help. Cleaned mine out but realized a spring that controls the suction was to spread not letting a flap to seal and create the tight vacuum and seal. Shorts the gap by shortening the spring.
Thanks for posting this. My food saver stopped having any suction and I was able to follow your directions to get it working, again! And, it passed the can crushing test :)
Great instructions. I'm going to check mine out. I was thinking of throwing them away and buy new. But seeing the price and being a person that likes to fix things I'm going to give it a try. 👍
Thank you! I bought a different version from the good will and it wasn't working. Followed your video and one of the tubes had a chunk of foam in it. I pulled it out and it works like a charm.
Nice work!
Thank you Kelly. I´ve just fixed a similar FoodSaver model that had weak vacuum, following your very well explained procedure. I owe you, for you´ve saved us a hundred bucks or more.
Mine has great suction but won't cycle over to the seal once it gets all the air out. Have you ever dealt with that sensor?
This is a nice little video but you might want to make sure you use "FOOD GRADE" silicone grease which also works well on the seals of the Foodsaver canisters and so forth.
By far the best video on this fix. Thank you for being calm, collective and concise.
well done..thanks!
Thank you! I just saved myself 120! And the landfill from another sadly fixable item.
One of the best instructional videos I’ve seen on any topic. Good job. Well done.
Great video. Thank you!
Thank you very much Kelly! I was looking for a replacement for my V2240 when I came across your video. My trusty 15 year old vacuum sealer had given up the ghost; no sign of power, no LEDs on; nothing. Once I saw in your video that two screws were hidden under the rubber feet of my unit it came apart easily. I checked the fuse, wiggled the power connectors, used a toothpick to test the door lock micro-switch and looked everything over for liquids and/or food. All looked good so I assumed an electronic component had failed and buttoned the unit back up to dispose of it. Plugged it in to the AC one final time and "Voila"! Everything powered up and it again vacuums and seals just like it did when I first bought it. I must have had a poor contact somewhere that is now corrected, for the time being at least. Thank you for taking the time to post this video!
That's why I don't seal liquids. only dry stuff . canning for anything with liquid. Thanks for your GREAT fixit vids!!
do you have any ideas for replacing the piston seal? the piston comes apart in 3 parts. bottom.. seal.. top ... held together with a Phillips screw. the thin seal dried out and cracked.
So glad I found this video. My food saver model fm 2016 is not even 6 months old would not completely draw out all air nor automatically seal like it once did. I knew that mine being so new couldn't have caked on or accumulated much debris yet but by you pointing out that hole inside the food saver I took a can of canned air and blew it thru that hole and the accessory port and now everything is in working order gain, it even goes into automatic sealing when the vacuum is done. Whew. Glad it's fixed but wouldn't have been if not for your video!
Wow! Thank you. I love fixing things
Man, I can't pry my super old V475 apart.
The newer ones use weird half pan head screws, to remove them grind a small screwdriver in the middle of the blade to make the tool. Replace with similar size Phillips screws to make future service easier. You can add a medical filter in line to protect the pump.and sensor.
Do you know where you can get a new piston assembly? Mine broke.
Not a big demand for that. Elementsandmore.com has stuff like the switch.and heating element, but I don't know anyone who has the piston parts.
Thank you! Just saved me ~$100
Thank you for your clear instructions and video. I was able to fix my newer model Food Saver FM 2435 when after I tried to seal partially frozen chicken tenderloins and it sucked a bunch of liquid into the unit. Nice job!!
I am not taking a thousand screws out to fix this piece of shit. had the FS-3230 for 10 years and the damn thing is just junk now.
Very well done. Just make the dots more visible
Wonderful; if this doesn't work; wet the foam seals with soapy water, as they get porous when they get old, if the soapy water makes the seals work, then you found another issue and you can order new seals for around 6 dollars. Or you can just wet them with soapy water every time.
@@kellykimble4047 Vaseline may or may not dissolve the seal. I am guessing; but if it doesn't and could see it doing a wonderful job.
Don’t know if I can crush a can with my brand new FM5200.
