    They'll give you some % off a new unit ... or possibly repair/replace
    with a remanufactured unit for $50 .. if you're lucky.

    Does anyone know of a third party supplier of parts for the Tilia
    FoodSaver line of food vacs? Sometimes the dinkiest item can prompt
    the 'throwaway' option. What a waste!

    I'm looking to replace the teflon heat strip 15" X3/8" Ebay won't send it to Canada and its exactly what I need. I called FoodSaver Customer Service Support 1-800-777-5452 and they told me its time to buy a new machine. They don't have replacement
    parts.

    Whether to ship to Canada or not is not eBay's decision; they
    don't care. The seller sets the rules for where they will ship
    and a seller of the parts you need ( yourpartsdirect13, eBay item
    number: 391437363906) sells to many countries, though Canada is
    not listed. Ask the seller, it may be an oversight because they
    sell into countries I wouldn't. Just ask if they would ship to
    you in Canada and, if so, at what shipping charge. I can't
    imagine why they wouldn't ship to Canada; I sell small appliances
    and ship to Canada occasionally without issue.

    I was hoping that someone, somewhere, has cataloged and inventoried
    parts from such sources. In our area ... I've rarely seen and Tilia's >>on the shelf.


    Dee, was this the Foodsaver you recently bought? Has something gone wrong with it so soon? Is there a warranty of some type?


    They made me a very similar offer when I called about repairs for an out
    of warranty sealer. They refused to sell parts (all I needed is a length
    of Teflon coated fiberglass tape) for home repair citing "liability". In
    the end, I bought a Sinbo and gave one to each of my children, too.
