Based upon Ed's solution, I need new black foam seals for my V845. The FoodSaver website does not show parts for this model #. Does anyone know which of the newer models uses foam seals with the same dimensions as the V845? (i.e., which ones will 'fix' my otherwise fine V845?)

There is a pressure switch (looks like a flat red barrel) attached to the circuit board. When it senses the correct amount of vacuum, it triggers the sealing process to start. If this switch is not working for any reason, the vacuum process never stops.
On mine, one of the solder joints on one of the switch legs went bad, and one side of the switch wasn't connected to the board anymore. I resoldered both legs, and the sealer works again.

Does the vacuum seem to run forever and it doesn't seal?
Clean the black foam seals
