Hey Judohero - Foodsaver (a Sunbeam company) has a 5 year warranty on their appliances (info can be found on their instruction manuals right next to the troubleshooting advice), so assuming you did try taking apart the machine to fix it, they'll should replace it without much trouble at all. That being said, my experience with people who have broken appliances like that in quick succession were usually using them wrong - make sure you are not overheating the motor and are cleaning the gaskets and the drip tray. Good luck!
