I want to say that this is what you are looking for
Use the advice in the other comment, where you vacuum seal some ice cubes. Let it sit out until the water thaws and then see where your leaks are. That will show you where you might have dirt on the heat sealer.
Wiping it might help, especially if you wipe it while it's warm. Be careful not to burn yourself and use something that won't melt or otherwise be affected by the heat. Like a dry paper towel as long as you keep it moving so it doesn't burn or get stuck.
If you want to do it cold then you can try scraping it very, very gently with like a small razor blade or something along those lines. But that's more if it's dirty enough that you can see where plastic is stuck to it. Still... Be very careful and very gentle that you don't damage it though, because then it won't seal right anyway.
It might be better to see if you can order a replacement strip for it, but since the company's not offering much support it might not matter.
You can buy something like this (they should have cheaper ones) and use it to manually seal the bags ahead of where the vacuum sealer is attempting to do so.
