Troubleshooting

 

Under the proper circumstances, your VS820 will give you top-notch vacuum 

performance. In some instances, problems may arise. Please consult the 

troubleshooting menu before calling customer support. 

VS820 will not turn on 

 

▪    Ensure that the machine is properly plugged into a grounded outlet.   

▪    Check the power cord for tears and frays. Do not use machine if power cord is 

damaged.   

▪    Make sure the ON/OFF button was properly pressed. LED screen will be 

illuminated when on. 

VS820 does not pull a complete vacuum with pouch 

 

▪    Vacuum/seal time may not be set high enough. Set vacuum and seal times 

higher and vacuum again.   

▪    To vacuum and seal properly, the opening of pouch must be within the vacuum 

chamber.   

▪    If packaging from a roll pouch, make sure first seal is complete and there are no 

gaps in either seal.   

▪    VS820 and vacuum pouch need to be clean, dry and free of debris for the 

vacuum process to be successful. Wipe surface of seal bar and inside of pouch 

and try again.   

Vacuum pouch loses vacuum after being sealed 

 

▪    Sharp items can puncture small holes in pouches. To prevent this, cover sharp 

edges with paper towel and vacuum in a new pouch. 

▪    Some fruits and vegetables can release gases (out-gassing) if not properly 

blanched or frozen before packaging. Open pouch. If you think food spoilage has 

begun, discard food. If food spoilage has not yet begun, consume immediately. If 

in doubt, discard food. 

VS820 is not sealing pouch properly 

 

▪    Seal time may not be long enough. Increase seal time and try again.   

▪    Pouches will not seal if any moisture, food particles or debris are present in the
