🔧 VacMaster VP215 chamber Sealer Repair! 🪛

The VacMaster VP215 is a gamechanger for the Alaska subsistence lifestyle! But, like any machine, it can break. VacMaster customer service went above and beyond helping us diagnose and repair ours to keep it running like new! If you are interested in picking up one of these for your own use, we encourage you to use our Amazon Affiliate link and get the same great price here: amzn.to/3J6E00B (not to be confused with the less-expensive, and in our opinion less desirable VP-210 which has a louder, oilless vacuum pump).
Like the headlamp? You can order one or a twin-pack affordably at our Amazon Affiliate link here! (Same value as the regular Amazon page, but Buoy4AK receives a very small commission to support the channel)

Awesome Job, I orded the VP215 From Amazon last week, Have a Great weekend Pops

[@Buoy4AK]

It’s been working hard for quite a while now, still performing great! 👍

[@TrailerTravelin]

A vacuum sealer is super handy. Glad you were able to fix it.

[@Buoy4AK]

Completely agree, thanks for watching! 😃

[@allenpruehs8288]

Fantastic view! Looking forward to your work with the salt pork.👍

[@Buoy4AK]

Thank you! Hopefully it’ll turn out 😉

[@craigmcgray5841]

That is an awesome view.

[@Buoy4AK]

We are very grateful to be situated in such a wonderful spot on a wonderful island 😎

[@stevenoel5491]

Lift the top , it's hinged , and there is a rod that holds the top open!

[@Buoy4AK]

Whaaaat? Thanks for the tip! (Next thing, oil change 😉)

[@CroakerOutdoors]

Appreciate you sharing your fix. Looking into getting a 215 or 230 but started seeing reviews where the unit becomes completely inoperable and must be sent to China. Good to know parts can be sent and we can DIY. Awesome view too!

[@Buoy4AK]

You betcha! We work ours pretty hard, & other than the board issue it hasn’t missed a beat. If it died tomorrow (hope not), we’d replace it with the same thing. Thanks for watching 😎

I was wondering if you could give me the dimensions of the lid LxW of both the outside and the size of the bubble as well as the height of the bubble also the gasket if you don't mind.

[@Buoy4AK]

You got it, here’s what I get (I’ll measure in imperial, but if you want remeasured in metric let me know) Outside overall- 13.25”w x 16”h x 20”d Lid outside- 13.2”w x 19.5”d Lid gasket- 12.5w x 17”d Bubble height- 4.75” inside chamber

[@christopherrasmussen8718]

Bad luck. My grandma used the can the salt pork. That's my thing. Fix it

[@Buoy4AK]

Thank you! Since getting a new one shipped to the island isn’t really an option, this might be the modern definition of “Necessity is the father of invention” because we didn’t really have a choice 😎. (Can’t WAIT for the Kruks if this salt pork thing works…)

[@dennishinckley6326]

To much wasted talk, much better if you just show how to fix it and left out all the so called interesting information.

[@Buoy4AK]

Agree, thanks for the feedback
