    Thanks for the video, Wayne. My problems started after changing the oil. Have never had an issue with my large machine. I admit to tipping the pump when I was draining the oil due to the awkward location of my pump and absentmindedness. Took the demister off and cleaned it after watching another video. Before taking it off, I was at 1586mTorr and, after cleaning and drying, I hit bottom at 1528mTorr so not really any difference at all. My premium pump is also making a different noise... more of a whirring sound and it seems quieter to me. I'm pretty convinced that, whatever I've done, it started with me changing the oil. When I try to run a load, it goes into and 'extra dry time' mode and, as soon as it finishes, it goes straight into Vacuum Freezing and says it's running at over 2500mTorr. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Sounds like you have a vacuum leak somewhere. I don't think it is a problem with the pump but I could be wrong. Did you test the drain valve for a vacuum leak, it is the most common problem area from what I have seen. If not the drain valve, I would loosen the hose that goes from the pump to the machine and reseat them like I demonstrated in the video. Good luck and thank you for visiting.

    Replacing the drain valve has my 2 1/2 year old medium sized machine back up and freeze drying. Pulling below 400 mTorr. The old drain valve was getting hard to open/close and when it was off I could see rust inside. Great video, well done. Thank you!!

    You have to understand how each fitting works, the hose fittings that go from the machine to the pump are compression fittins. The threads only pull the compression faces together, they need to mate smoothly or you can't get your vacuum. A little oil on the o ring and the mating surfaces might help, it won't "seal" the fitting but it will allow the fitting to smoothly mate for a better fit. The valve is a common pip fitting which needs teflon tape, I use good teflon takpe with a little pipe thread compund to make sure its tight. If your drain valve leaks make sure its not rusted, my sons rusted and we bought a new, better one.

    Thank you a million times over!!! My machine has not been pulling an adequate vacuum for over 2 months. I have spent countless hours researching, watching youtube videos, ripping apart my vacuum pump, taping everything imaginable, etc. I was at a loss and about to rip the side panels off my machine to take an internal look. But I thought, let's try youtube universe one more time before resorting to this last step. Thank goodness for your video!!! Turns out, the drain valve was not closing 100%. Since replacing, my mTorrs are now as low as 350! It's never been this low. Thanks Again!!!!

    Have you ever not used lemon juice and no vanilla but added a pinch of nutmeg when making your cobbler. It’s so good. If someone wants a little thicker topper on their cobbler they can use a 9x9 casserole dish. You just have to use a little less peaches. I make mine almost the same as you except I use a pinch of nutmeg n white peaches. I’ll have to try your recipes next. Thank you

    Is this something you could freeze-dry, or would the process destroy the consistency or would it fail to freeze-dry? I know you have a Freeze Dryer but your videos stop after the cooking process has ended. Have you considered making a separate video on the “storing” part, or do y’all eat everything before getting that far 😂? Love how we get to see the whole process of making/cooking. Ever wish you had an island where we can see you head-on? I was thinking this when you filled in the dish; how it was almost out of view. I knew what was happening, just couldn’t enjoy watching the product go in. Do you hand slice the strawberries, or use a food processor? I’ve been considering getting a food processor to cut down on the time it takes me to wash, cut the stem off, and slice each strawberry, what do you think, should I bite the bullet and get one?

    Hello, I don't think this could be freeze dried and rehydrated successfully. It possibly could be freeze dried and eaten as a crunchy snack. I've never tried and can't say for certain that it is possible. It might be too tall to fit into the machine. Yes, I wish I had a larger kitchen area for doing our videos. My kitchen is too small to accommodate an island. I do hand slice the berries, but highly recommend a good quality food processer, which in general makes preparation quicker and easier. I'm always amazed at how quickly ours can process a large quantity of food. When are garden starts producing, it will get quite the workout! Thanks for visiting and your comment.

    When you state “errors” is the machine telling you there’s a problem or do you just experience it? For me, when I opened the drain valve no pressure was released. The machine didn’t think anything was wrong, it had completed the FD’ing of my product. The trays were frozen was the only thing I noticed. I realized as I was watching it may have been the front gasket as there was some “sweat” on the outside of the gasket. I’ve had this thing all of 2 1/2 months. I’ve already filtered the oil once because I lost track of how many batches I had done (maybe 18, maybe more) and thought I should just to be safe. When I refilled the filtered oil I had lost a bit of oil, could this be a separate problem?

  • @cookingandstoring
    @cookingandstoring3 ай бұрын

    Yes, Our Machine was giving a vacuum error. The sweat on the gasket is normal. We keep a towel under it to catch the drips. We keep a log of batches and that makes it easy to know how many have been run. You will loose some oil from the demister with the air that is pumped out of the machine. This is normal but it should not go below the low point on the oil level sight glass. Good luck and thank you for visiting.

  • @MisterEMystery

    @cookingandstoring thank you for the reply! I guess I still don’t understand why there was no pressure when I opened the valve as it sounds like everything else is normal. I guess I won’t worry about it unless it happens again (haven’t done a batch of anything since, largely due to no product I want to FD).

    Seeing you unpack and use a dolly to get down stairs into the basement convinced me to finally purchase a small FD. I was able to transport it into my basement down the steps using a dolly ( slowly and carefully)by myself by securing to dolly with 4 ratchet straps. I got mine onto my table by using 2 air mattresses as a diy hydraulic lift 😊. I slid in onto 2 air mattresses stacked on top of each other covered in a blanket so not to puncture the mattress . I inflated the top one first, and it dipped in but still rose up then inflated the bottom mattress( holding into the FD) until it was level with my table then slid it over. Worked perfectly and saved my back. Since each mattress could hand 250lb I knew it could lift my 100lb FD.
