Troubleshooting Seal Bar Issues

There are several common steps for troubleshooting seal issues with your Vesta Precision vacuum sealer. Below, we will step through each one, from simplest to advanced.

  • If your vacuum sealer has a variable seal time option, ensure the seal time is set to a value greater than 0. 
  • If your vacuum sealer has a Marinate option, verify that the option is disabled.
  • Check the seal bar tape for discoloration, brittleness, etc. A worn-out seal tape can adversely impact the quality of the seal. 
  • If the seal bar can be removed, remove it and clean the seal bar mounting holes on the underside and the seal bar mounting pegs in the vacuum sealer. 
  • Test the seal wire's continuity with an ohmmeter. A value of 1 indicates a break in the seal wire, which requires replacement. 

We hope this information was helpful and if you continue to have seal issues after checking the above, please contact us.
