5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your vacuum sealer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance does not turn on. | No power supply. | Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. |
| Bag does not vacuum properly. | Bag not positioned correctly; sealing strip/gaskets dirty or damaged; bag has holes. | Ensure the bag opening is flat and fully inside the vacuum chamber. Clean or replace sealing strip/gaskets. Use a new, undamaged bag. |
| Bag does not seal. | Sealing strip is dirty or wet; too much moisture in the bag; overheating. | Clean and dry the sealing strip. Pre-freeze moist foods or use the Moist mode. Allow the machine to cool down for 20-30 seconds between seals. |
| Vacuum is weak. | Lid not properly closed; gaskets are worn or misaligned. | Ensure the lid is fully closed and locked. Check the gaskets for wear and proper placement. |
