Ce tutoriel est le résultat du travail hors pair d'un de nos étudiants et notre équipe iFixit le trouve particulièrement réussi.
Introduction
The SodaStream Source carbonates water and adds flavor through its nozzle. This nozzle has a rubber seal to help prevent leakage and stabilize the carbonating block while making soda. If the seal is damaged, replacing it will stop leaking during your soda's creation. To replace this seal external and internal disassembly is required. This guide shows you how to access and remove a damaged seal.

Remove the four 17.8 mm screw from the bottom metal base using a Phillips #1 screwdriver.

Pull the outer cover away from the front of the device.
We are working on that for the last two hours without succcess. The boytom seems to slide out, but the top is totally stuck.
Hey Robert Coles, I figured it out. It wants to slide out backwards. You’ll notice the bottom wants to come out but the top is stuck. There is a sturdy plastic catch at the top, I managed to dislodge it by inserting a flathead screwdriver and giving it a little twist while pulling the housing away at the same time. I hope this helps! -jt
I have the same problem.
I’m stuck here too. I’ve pulled a lot of things apart but this has got the better of me. I can’t even get the bottom to slide. I love the way his hands are delicately poised to gently lift the back off. I’ve tried pulling so hard I’m frightened of breaking it. Pity. Such a good, well thought out manual otherwise. Stuck on step 3
used two thin wood skewers to break the hold on the top. Slid them in each about 1/2” from the enter. finally released.
Brian’s comment is excellent. The only additional piece of information is that the skewers should be inserted from the back. The catch is in the middle near the back. I inserted from the front which was wrong, but still worked. I left a couple of very fine marks that I think would not happen if inserted from the back.
This step was unnecessary. I was able to slide off the front panel without pulling the outer cover off.
there might be different variations within the same “model”. in my case (source), i realized that there is a tab at the top of of the housing. i pulled upwards the top of the housing, and was able to slide the housing backwards. there were 2 pairs of tracks on the sides of the housing that i thought they might have latches, but they were only guides to slide the housing. i do not how to share pictures here to show my steps
This step was a real bugger. What helped was sliding a medium putty knife between the top and inner piece. The plastic snap is very near the back. They are right above the small “point” in the centre of the mechanism below it. Takes patience and let the plastic give way in time. I thought for sure I was going to bust it, and then it finally slid out like magic.

Remove the two 18.2 mm screws from the bottom of the front cover using a Phillips #1 screwdriver.
-
-
-
Firmly pull the front cover off.
The plastic spudgers that are supplied for mobile phone or tablet screen removal are perfect for this job. Use 2 - 1 on each side.
Once the 18.2 mm screws are removed, I just pulled the black plastic outer cover a couple mm away from the white plastic internal block on each side to release 4 of the 6 plastic catches, and then rotated upward to release the last 2 plastic catches.

Push the gold bar, located in the top of the device, out of the carbonating block.
We could,remove this covee, without sliding the assembly out ofbthe case. There was NO gold bar in the system…

-
Slide the yellow battery cover up and away to remove it from the device.
Careful! I had springs and retainers go flying on this step
Yep…same here. Took me a good minute to figure out where they came from!?

-
Remove the plastic piece, located near the front of the carbonating block, from both sides of the device using a plastic opening tool or nylon spudger.
-
-
-
Remove the plastic oval and the spring within it.
-
-
-
Remove the three 17.9 mm screws located on the right side.
Should this be four screws? I followed all directions (I think) and had one extra screw to remove, just above the bottle mount, before I could split the two halves apart
Yes I had a 4th screw at this step too. Going backwards the missing fourth screw in the instruction messed me up and I had to redo it!
-
-
-
Grip the right and left sides of the device and pull it into two identical halves.
what happens to the middle white piece?
Yeah there's a step missing here…between 17 & 18
Is it better to lay it on its side?
-
-
-
Pull the foam pad up and remove it from the front side of the carbonation component.
-
-
-
Remove the rubber seal from the nozzle piece and replace with the new seal.

I’ll ask the same question as the gentleman above. Where can I purchase the rubber gasket seal? I cannot find it anywhere online. I would also like to purchase the gas delivery tube and is installed.
Thank you
Peter (USA)
Our sodastream does not work anymore. It’s the electrick model with three different gasfillings. When you put the waterbottle into the filling station and then you turn your suitably filled bottle down and you try to push some of those lights (- /--/ ---) for to fill your bottle, it sounds like little choked “puff” and then all lights are blinking (I think they tell mailfunction). No gas comes. I have changed new and stuffed gasbottle, power cable is its place and works. So what’s wrong? Thank You allready, Juha Heikkilä (Finland).
I can’t remove the outer cover, step 3.
I am also looking for a gasket. Do you have any advice?
You have to make your own gasket using a 3d printer. sodastream will not sell you any internal parts. They consider all soda makers disposable!!!
Where do I get the rubber????? The only think that I wil find is this https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?cat...
I thought so too - but then send you little black washer dealies and not the inner gasket.
You should show the answers. Where do I get the seal
I do not see any answers. Hopefully there were some. I have the same question: where can I buy the infamous “internal rubber seal”? Awesome step-by-step guide.
I have just had a conversation on FB with SodaStream UK re obtaining these gaskets, but apparently they don’t want to help. Their customer support person even told me that replacing one is ‘not safe’. I’m sure they’d much rather sell you a new machine, which would be much safer for their profit margins.
Here’s a replacement part:
If I can pull this whole thing off (and back on and assemble) that will be ACHIEVEMENT!
Started reminding me of watching an excellent video (BTW) of a guy tearing down and rebuilding a vehicle’s transmission…..kind of exaggeration:)
Thanks for posting this wonderful step-by-step! Great diagram and details*
Where can you buy the rubber seals?
For what it’s worth does anyone know where to get a gasket/washer that is in the back of the unit that holds the Co2 container by twisting it in to that mechanism? I know i came close to finding at Home Depot but the center was too solid and it wouldn’t fit properly, This is and has been something else to find any info. or parts or the exact measurements of same. Mine’s the Source model but I take it they are all pretty much the same size to fit the co2 container.
What’s the point with this repair guide if you don’t explaine where a new seal can be purchased from?
I’ve completed all the steps and found neither washer was damaged. I am now trying to reverse the steps and stuck between 17 and 18 - I am unclear where all the “internal components” go. Anyone know where to get photos of this?
The Real Fix (Very Simple and costs nothing)
If your machine no longer carbonates, stick a sewing needle in the end hole on the white tube. Make the hole SLIGHTLY wider and it will work again. DO NOT MAKE THE HOLE TOO BIG OR YOU WILL HAVE SODA TOO CARBONATED AND WATER WILL SPRAY EVERYWHERE.
FYI, You can not buy the rubber ring or the white tube. SodaStream makes you buy the entire carbonator, about 90 Dollars. It has many part numbers: W10639752, W10645558, W42105377. Also, the SodaStream carbonator unit is the same in the SodaStream model and the Kitchenaid model.
Where to buy the big black washer ? Soda Stream South Africa basically lied to me saying they are not removeable !!!
Und wo bekomme ich diese Dichtung her?
Genau das suche ich auch
Amazing how useless this iFixit page is because nobody cares to answer the simple question of where to get the replacement gasket. Wasted my time here.
Alles schön und gut, aber wo kann ich die dichtung kaufen?
Nur Werkzeuge werden zum Kauf angeboten.
