Watch this video on how a new gasket can help fix your sealer problem:
Many customers have tossed their vacuum sealers due to poor suction. Don't waste your money on a new machine! A simple gasket replacement can fix most machines and save you hundreds.
This is Replacement Vacuum Sealer Gaskets Item 176870-000-000. This gasket is mainly for FoodSaver machines and fits only certain models.
FIT FOR: FoodSaver FM2000, FM2010, FM2100, FM2110, FM2435, FM3600, FM3620, FM3920, FM3940, FM3941, FM3945, GM2050, GM2150, VS0150, VS0160 models. It is not intended to be used for any other models.
If your model isn't listed, check our other gaskets to find one that fits. If you still can't find the right gasket, send us a message, and we'll help you find a replacement.
Knowing your sealer's model is important to ensure that the gasket fits your vacuum sealer. You can check at the bottom of your machine or on some machines the model is printed right on the top or front. Not sure which model you have? Contact us and we can help.
Once you have your new gasket, here’s how you should install it:
By following these steps, you avoid stretching the gasket. Starting from one end and going straight to the other can stretch the gasket, making it slightly too long.
There’s a clear difference between a vacuum sealer that has a failing gasket and a working one. Once you have replaced your gasket, you will be able to tell the difference.
When a gasket is failing the machine may take a long time to suck all of the air out of the bag, or it may fail to remove any air at all. Often, this also causes the vacuum pump to keep running without engaging the automatic sealing function.
When a gasket is just starting to fail pressing down on the cover can sometimes create a tight seal for air removal, but you don't want to do that every time you use the machine.
When your gaskets are healthy your vacuum sealer should suck the air out of the bag quickly, detect when the air has been completely sucked out, and it automatically seals the bag closed.
By simply replacing the gasket, the machine is back up and running.
We’re here to help you keep your machine going for the long term.
Save your money, you don't need to buy a new one.
