Spare part · before 2020
Caps that keep the lid sensing right
Microswitches in a LAVA sealer detect when the lid is closed and start the cycle. The lid's contact pins press on them every time you seal, and over thousands of cycles that wears the caps on the switches. Once a cap hardens, cracks or falls off, the switch can misread the lid.

Specifications
A two-piece set of protective caps for the microswitches inside your LAVA vacuum sealer. The caps sit over the microswitches that detect the lid closing, shielding them from the contact pins so they keep triggering reliably. When a machine starts misreading the lid or sealing inconsistently, worn switch caps are a common and very cheap cause. Fits LAVA vacuum sealers made before 2020, two caps per set, no tools to fit. A genuine LAVA spare part. For current machines, see the LAVA vacuum sealer range .

04 · FAQ
Common questions
What do these caps do?
They protect the microswitches that detect the lid closing. The lid’s contact pins press on those switches each cycle; the caps take that wear so the switches keep triggering correctly. Worn caps can cause the machine to misread the lid or seal inconsistently.
Which machines do they fit?
LAVA vacuum sealers manufactured before 2020. If your machine is newer, check with the LAVA team before ordering, as the arrangement differs on later models.
How do I know if I need them?
If your older LAVA sealer has started failing to start when you close the lid, starting inconsistently, or sealing unreliably, worn microswitch caps are a likely and inexpensive cause worth checking first.
Are they hard to fit?
No. The caps fit over the microswitches by hand, with no tools required. Two caps come in the set.
How many are in a set?
Two caps per set, enough to replace both microswitch caps in the machine at once.
