<h2 class="bvseo-question">
I have the food saver #3835. When I vacuum moist items or a bag with liquid in it, the sealer only melts the bag in a few places along the the seal line. I am using the &quot;moist&quot; food setting. Do I need to replace gaskets to make this work better?&nbsp;
</h2>
<div class="bvseo-question-detail">
</div>
<div class="bvseo-author">Asked by: LaLL</div>
<div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="3362174">
We recommend that you always flash freeze meat/fish, fruits/veggies, and freeze sauce/soup solid before vac/seal because moisture will compromise the seal and can compromise the integrity of the FoodSaver altogether. Flash freeze just means you're going to put it in your freezer long enough for the outside to become solid before you vacuum seal it. This will lock the moisture in your meat and keep the FoodSaver itself from vacuuming out all the moisture and deeming it unable to seal the bags properly. This information is located under 'Food Preparation and Reheating Tips' in every FoodSaver manual.

We're happy to help! The FoodSaver is detecting moisture in the drip tray. To clear the tray full indicator light, it is necessary to open the unit and remove the drip tray. Make sure the surrounding area under the drip tray has dried completely. Please leave the unit open with the drip tray removed overnight. Also, remember to unplug the unit. Then, place the drip tray back in the unit, close it and turn it on. Press the cancel button to reset the unit, the light should go off. If you continue to experience difficulties, please send us a direct message via live chat here on the site and we will make sure you get back to sealing again.
