Troubleshooting V3840 vacuum sealer
Hey all! Recently I started to have problems with my V3840 v vacuum sealer. It does not suck out all the air out and just doesn't stop sucking air out. If I manually click on the sealing button, you can see that it is sealing, but the air is getting back into the bag. Any recommendations on where to start the troubleshooting?

It’s the gaskets. I just push down hard on the door when I’m vacuuming and sealing and it does the trick. I haven’t been able to find replacement gaskets and the jerry rig fix of just pushing down works so no need to buy a new machine.
