The reason the sealer stopped pulling a vacuum is because the A420 foam lid gaskets can become compressed. We suggest pulling out the foam gaskets and then placing them back in to &apos;fluff&apos; them up a bit and give life back to them.Then, run a vacuum cycle with a test bag. Your sealer should now function properly.&#xA0;If not, please contact Avid Armor.<img src="https://uploads.gorgias.io/3dBwk7WjGjb2NZ9m/Screen_Shot_2023-05-23_at_1.55.58_PM-5a866276-51d7-47c6-a760-3ed307d23bdc.png" style="width: 402px;" class="fr-fic fr-dii">
