hand sealer hose on 5860 will not retract

<div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="6887359">
Hello. If your hand held sealer is not retracting, place a FoodSaver&reg; unit on the edge of your counter or similar surface. Then, with the hose hanging over the edge, pull with light but abrupt force downwards to dislodge the spring. While pulling, release tension fully without letting go of the tip of the accessory hose. Repeat step 2 as many times until the hose goes back in. If you still require an assistance, please contact us directly via contact form. Thank you! FoodSaver&reg; Consumer Care

Hello! We are very sorry to hear about the problem with your unit and we apologize for the inconvenience! When it comes to your FoodSaver not sealing, please find below a few tips that may help you with the aforementioned issue: 1. For units with removable gaskets, remove the lower gasket, turn it over and re-insert it into the track that runs around the vacuum channel. Also, check the other gasket.&nbsp; 2. It may be necessary to pre-freeze moist/soft food items to prevent moisture from compromising an effective vacuum/seal. These items include meats, fish, poultry, soft fruits, and blanched vegetables.&nbsp; 3. Test your FoodSaver by operating it without a bag. Allow the unit to complete the cycle. When the unit shuts off, lift the lid and gently touch the heat strip. If it is hot, please try to seal another bag. Should this not work, a good replacement for your model would be, for instance, one of our FM2000 series or, if you wish to have an in-built handheld accessory, VS3000 series for instance. Of course, should you require any further assistance on the matter, please kindly reach out to us via https://www.foodsaver.com/support/contact-us or through LiveChat. We&rsquo;re available Mon.-Fri. 9am -5pm Eastern Time. Thank you! FoodSaver&reg; Consumer Care

<div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="6749545">
Hello! Thanks for reaching out to us! I will be more than happy to answer your question! You can vacuum seal liquids (such as soups for example), but you have to pre-freeze it first. If you try to vacuum seal it in its liquid state then it may get into the machine and not only it will be hard to clean, but it may also cause a malfunction to the whole unit. If you have any more questions, please reach out to us via https://www.foodsaver.com/support/contact-us or through LiveChat. We&rsquo;re available Mon.-Fri. 9am -5pm Eastern Time.&nbsp; Thank you!&nbsp; FoodSaver Consumer Care
