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.
