Sostituzione Guarnizione Interna in Gomma di SodaStream

Difficoltà

Moderato

Passi

Tempo Necessario

45 minuti

Introduzione

La Sorgente SodaStream rende gassata l'acqua e aggiunge più gusto attraverso il suo ugello. Quest'ultimo ha una guarnizione in gomma per aiutare a prevenire perdite e stabilizzare il blocco per la carbonazione durante il processo. Se la guarnizione è danneggiata, la sostituzione della stessa ti permetterà di fermare le perdite durante la creazione dell'acqua gassata. Per tale sostituzione è richiesto lo smontaggio interno ed esterno dell'apparecchio. Questa guida ti mostrerà come accedere e rimuovere la guarnizione danneggiata.

Strumenti

Passo 1

Rimuova il contenitore e la bombola di CO2 dall'apparecchio.

My machine is overflowing when i put gas

Elaine Anja -

Does this article apply to the Fizzi too?

When I look at my Fizzi (that I bought secondhand), it does not have any black seal like the one shown in this article.

Greg Harrington -

Parts are not specified - why? You would need a replacement circuit board (PCB, not a "chip")/battery holder assembly, if indeed that has failed.

Malcolm Noble -

IMPORTANT! Don’t use Philips screwdriver size PH1, it’s too small and will damage the screws. The correct size is PH2. This goes for all screws on this machine.

Charles Greneby -

Passo 2

Svita le quattro viti da 17,8 mm dalla base inferiore in metallo usando un cacciavite a croce Phillips #1.

Passo 3

Tira via la copertura esterna dalla parte anteriore del dispositivo.

We are working on that for the last two hours without succcess. The boytom seems to slide out, but the top is totally stuck.

Robert Coles - 01/07/20

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

John Tennant - 02/07/20

I have the same problem.

John Tennant - 02/07/20

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

damon.ormsby - 03/07/20

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 Runyan - 26/07/20

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.

David Balfour - 14/11/20

This step was unnecessary. I was able to slide off the front panel without pulling the outer cover off.

Matthew Dash - 14/11/20

Same for me. Jump to step4/5 first to see if it's even necessary.

jwitt72 -

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

Salam Gabran - 10/12/20

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.

Scott - 14/02/21

Didn’t work I think they glued it shut to keep us from prying.

Janey Kim - 23/05/21

This step is only useful if you need to retension the two springs that lift the head and releases the pressure so that you don't have to lift it manually to get the bottle out.

till_vidar -

There are definitely different model variations. The outer metal case on my 2013 is split at the bottom as in this guide. The plastic case on my 16/17 is different an has the catch at the top rear as discussed in this thread. A gentle push up with my thumbs was enough to release it.

Darryl Marko -

I gave up on this step after 5 mins, but I found for my model it could be skipped and just go to step 4. For step 5, with a flathead screwdriver it came off easily and exposed the battery for replacement. Worked fine afterwards.

jwitt72 -

There is no need for steps 1, 2 and 3. Start at 4, and just remove the two screws from the front square that you push down. Use a tool to firmly pull the cover off and go ahead and replace the battery. Put back the cover, the two screws and you are done!

MarianaFre -

Passo 4

Svita le due viti da 18,2 mm dalla parte inferiore della copertura anteriore usando un un cacciavite a croce Philips #1.

Passo 5

Tira via con decisione la copertura anteriore.
Questa parte è difficile da rimuovere e richiede della forza. Potresti usare uno strumento largo e sottile per fare leva (come un Jimmy.

The plastic spudgers that are supplied for mobile phone or tablet screen removal are perfect for this job. Use 2 - 1 on each side.

David Balfour - 14/11/20

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.

Tony Hartshorn - 11/04/21

Note for the SodaStream Source model that doesn't have a battery: The contents of the electrical unit will come off along with the cover itself. The connecting wires are short and won't allow removing the cover as shown here. Disassemble carefully so as to not damage the wires.

This model looks slightly different than the one shown in this guide: there are three horizontally placed buttons along the top edge, used to select the degree of carbonation and to start the process.

Maaria Kaanaa -

Passo 6

Spingi la barra dorata, posizionata nella parte superiore del dispositivo, fuori dal blocco di gasatura.
Puoi usare la punta del tuo cacciavite per spingere questa barra.

We could,remove this covee, without sliding the assembly out ofbthe case. There was NO gold bar in the system…

Robert Coles - 01/07/20

….. no gold bar either in my device…. ??????

hbergeron - 30/12/20

Passo 7

Fai scorrere la copertura gialla della batteria verso l'alto e poi allontanala dal dispositivo per rimuoverla.

Careful! I had springs and retainers go flying on this step

Felicia Renaud - 31/08/20

Yep…same here. Took me a good minute to figure out where they came from!?

Rodney Davis - 27/03/21

Fun fact: The lights on the SodaStream are simply a timer. They are in no way linked to a pressure gauge. If you want more bubbles it doesn't mean you have to press on the activation mechanism harder. you can press gently and just wait longer. This way the water will not spill out over the top and leak all over the table. Ignore the lights and just wait for the safety release valve to activate as you are filling the bottle. that's how you know you have reached the limit.

Ken Ostrovsky -

I don't have see springs but led don't work? How work led? The battery is charge. Thank you

Letizia -

Passo 8

Sgancia il pezzo inferiore dei bracci in plastica da entrambi i lati del dispositivo.

Passo 9

Solleva la parte superiore dei bracci in plastica per rimuoverli da entrambi i lati.

Slot screwdriver works just fine for these next two steps

Scott - 14/02/21

Passo 10

Rimuovi i pezzi di plastica, posizionati vicino alla parte anteriore del blocco di gasatura, da entrambi il lati del dispositivo usando uno strumento di apertura in plastica o uno spudger in nylon.

Be careful…they will fly off across the room!

Rodney Davis - 27/03/21

Passo 11

Rimuovi l'ovale in plastica e la molla al suo interno.

Do not have this piece on mine?

ronkellington - 11/12/20

nor do I. They must have made some changes.

Scott - 14/02/21

This piece exists on my 2013 metal chassis version, but not on my 2016/17 plastic chassis.

Darryl Marko -

Passo 12

Tira il riquadro di carica verso il basso e allontanalo dal resto del blocco di gasatura.

Passo 13

Svita le tre viti da 17,9 mm posizionate sul lato destro.
Queste viti possono essere difficili da raggiungere.

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

Phil Wilkes - 02/06/20

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!

Daniel Sylvester - 28/07/20

Yes the 4th screw still isn't mentioned - and just below it is the rare-earth magnet that can fall out when the halves are separated. This magnet activates the LEDs when the carbonating block is pushed down - no magnet, no lights.

Malcolm Noble -

Passo 14

Rilascia i quattro ganci sulla parte superiore del blocco di carbonatura e rimuovi la copertura in plastica.

Passo 15

Solleva i ganci posizionati su entrambi i lati con uno spudger in plastica. Sfila la copertura anteriore.

Passo 16

Sgancia i bracci argento a molla da entrambi i lati del dispositivo spingendoli verso il basso.

Passo 17

Prendi i lati destro e sinistro del dispositivo e aprili in due metà identiche.
Una volta separati questi due pezzi, tutte le restanti componenti interne cadranno fuori dal dispositivo.

what happens to the middle white piece?

Noah Langer - 25/04/20

Yeah there's a step missing here…between 17 & 18

Daniel Sylvester - 27/07/20

Is it better to lay it on its side?

Gareth White - 05/11/20

I hope someone will document the missing step of what it looks like if you separate the halves without having all the parts fall out.

What does it look like and where do they go? Kinda' important for reassembly.

Joe -

I've added a photo to this step showing just this, fingers crossed it gets approved

lizzbeeton -

Liz - would you post a link to your pic here so we can see it even though it's not approved yet?

Joe -

Re: "missing step"

On the newer models, (at least 2016/17) the valve is attached to the left side and it's two Phillips head screws must be removed.

These instructions are correct for earlier models where the valve is in the middle, so there is no missing step.

Darryl Marko -

Se voce deitar o aparelho com cuidado, nada cairá e as peças ficarão no lugar

J.Poppa -

Thanks to this guide, I’ve taken a part my SodaStream Source a few times now. Like others have mentioned, during reassembly, this step tripped me up every time. It’s definitely missing details about the part orientation. I took some additional photos in efforts to help others. Please find the album here.

Mitch -

Thanks Mitch!! That's exactly what I needed! been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how that white piece went back in.

KayLynn Mathews -

You’re very welcome! I’m so glad it helped you out!

Mitch -

Passo 18

Tira la spugna verso l'alto per rimuoverla dalla parte anteriore della componente di gasatura.

Any source for spare parts known? Ebay and Amazon does not help here!

lutz Ziffer - 07/02/21

no foam pad on mine either

Scott - 14/02/21

What is the name of the part that is in blue? Mine is broken and I would like to replace it

Tony R - 12/04/21

The part on mine that was broken is the plastic cap/nut that connects the black hose to the canister holder.

Going to try and superglue it. Wonder if there's a source for this nut?

Joe -

I wish it was that simple. The hose has a brass ferrule crimped on it, and the nut cannot be replaced without being able to remove and crimp a new ferrule to the (new?) hose. I have found a listing (eBay Europe?) for a split brass nut that allows replacement, but...

Passo 19

Svita le sei viti da 17,7 mm da sotto il riquadro di carica.

Passo 20

Tira via il riquadro di carica dal beccuccio.

Dove posso acquistare il tubo dell'aria del gasatore?

Passo 21

Rimuovi la guarnizione in gomma dall'ugello e sostituiscila con una di nuova.

Where to buy a new seal?

dtfodstad - 30/01/21

Vanskelig å få kjøpt ny pakning . Det virker som Sodastream prøver å hindre at kunder reparer maskinen sin. Bedriften vil at man kjøper ny. Det er lite miljøvennlig!

dtfodstad - 30/01/21

Hallo

wo kann ich mit welcher Ersatzteilenummer diese Dichtung kaufen?

Benz Weibel -

Anyone have a link on where to buy a seal????

digitalbilly -

My screw driver pulled a tiny silver magnet from somewhere in the last step. Any suggestions where this came from

Warren Gibbins -

This is a rare-earth magnet that triggers the LED circuit when the carbonating block is pushed down. The LED lights will not work without it. The magnet slots into a cavity just below the screw that holds the 2 halves of the unit together at the front (approximately level with the operator's thumbs in Step 17 pic). NOTE: there appears to be no mention of removal of this screw in the guide. The magnet is only accessible when the halves are separated. I replaced one recently that had reduced magnetism due to corrosion, probably from fluid escaping past the internal rubber seal. And no, I don't know where to buy the seals - the web is flooded with seals for the gas bottle but not this one.

Malcolm Noble -

Super tuto merci je ne pensais pas qu’il fallait autant en démonter !

Pascal MAURY -

Where can I get the internal gasket?

Nancy Egelston Bandfield -

Conclusione

Per riassemblare il dispositivo, segui le istruzioni nell'ordine inverso.

Where can I purchase the internal rubber seal? Thanks Ronzo (Australia)

Ron Hayes - 12/08/17

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)

Peter De Luca - 23/01/18

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).

Juha Heikkilä - 25/02/18

I can’t remove the outer cover, step 3.

Claude Vadeboncoeur - 26/02/18

I am also looking for a gasket. Do you have any advice?

Zuzana Karlíková - 27/06/18

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!!!

jimmylasvegas - 08/08/18

Where do I get the rubber????? The only think that I wil find is this https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?cat...

Miner Milo - 05/09/18

Folks. I believe SS are happy to replace these seals. I’m just about to try Soda stream in Australia but of you go to the SS facebook page for your country and look at the community discussion it seems likely. i’m going to try tomorrow and I will let you know how i go.

Tartar - 11/12/18

I thought so too - but then send you little black washer dealies and not the inner gasket.

cousinchang - 20/12/18

You should show the answers. Where do I get the seal

surferf0rgod - 06/03/19

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.

Paolo Ferreri - 29/03/19

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.

dm1fr - 29/03/19

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*

Does this work a penguin soda stream

dekloppe - 28/06/19

I can’t get the sleeve type cover of the SodaStream manual fountain back on

tatallent - 22/08/19

Where can you buy the rubber seals?

David Parry - 19/11/19

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.

Keith - 23/12/19

What’s the point with this repair guide if you don’t explaine where a new seal can be purchased from?

Turre Tuntematon - 25/01/20

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?

Vanessa Shaw - 02/04/20

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.

Paul - 10/04/20

Where to buy the big black washer ? Soda Stream South Africa basically lied to me saying they are not removeable !!!

Duncan Gohl - 11/09/20

Und wo bekomme ich diese Dichtung her?

jolewalter - 11/11/20

Genau das suche ich auch

Jörg Schmidt - 24/02/21

schon fündig geworden? bin auch auf der suche .. wenn alle Stricke reißen druck ich mir mit meinem 3D Drucker eine Negativ Form und mach die aus Silikon!

Miller Thomas - BIG -

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.

Andre Vandal - 27/12/20

Couldn’t agree more.

Malcolm Noble -

Alles schön und gut, aber wo kann ich die dichtung kaufen?

Nur Werkzeuge werden zum Kauf angeboten.

Grüße Schmidt Jörg aus Leverkusen.

Jörg Schmidt - 24/02/21

Nice instruction - this works for the later model Fizzy as well. They are not exactly the same but just use your head and they are close enough. Since there are no replacement gaskets available (yet) I found a trick that works. My problem was the gasket was not making contact with the bottle anymore so it just blew co2, air, and water right out the bottle. What worked for me is to notice the gasket has the outer part that would presumably just touch the bottle then the gas will inflate it a little to make a decent seal. With the gasket on the white plastic part take 3 fingers from each hand and carefully peel that outer part of the gasket upward sort of turning it inside out, then with it in that position, insert it into the bottle and let it sit there overnight. That will stretch it outward, then when you put it all back together it actually seems to work just fine. NOTE: This worked for the fizzy - I don’t know if the gasket is the same in this model. What he is holding in his hand it looks a bit different than mine.

Mark Deacon - 25/04/21

Need to get washer where the tank screws in.

Adrien Doucette - 14/05/21

I’ve contacted the Soda Stream importer in New Zealand, asking for a replacement seal and was told:

“All the parts are integral to the Sodastream unit and as such there are no spare parts available and no authorised service agent.”

So my Stream with a faulty seal is junk. I can’t find anything that looks right on the usual Aliexpress-type sites either.

Paul Smith -

Ridiculous how the soda stream is advertised as an environmentally friendly alternative to bottled water and then dont even offer the most essential spare parts. can’t find the required washer anywhere.

Christine Hauser -

https://www.kegland.com.au/seal-kit-for-...

I just ordered one. I'm hoping it's the right part. Looks the same

Paul Norris -

Did this work?

Leeroybrown -

That’s the kit for using the gas bottle for a keg set up. I too am looking for the seal we all need. Just might try glueing a very thin piece of rubber under the said seal to make it more proud.

Jack Blythe -

Hallo, guten Morgen, bin Eurer Anleitung gefolgt, bei meinem Gerät ist nicht die Dichtung zu erneuern, sondern ich suche den internen ca. 15 cm langen co2 Verbindungsschlauch, da eines der beiden Schraubgewinde gerissen ist. Vielleicht könnt ihr mir helfen, wo genau bekommt man einen solchen Ersatzschlauch? Liebe Grüße Herbert Witzany h.witzany@googlemail.com

Witzany -

Really good explanation- it would help to show exploded view of three components in step 18 (for putting back together)

eric -

Exactly as Eric said.

I hope someone will document the missing step 17.5 of what it looks like if you separate the halves without having all the parts fall out.

What does it look like and where do they go? Kinda' important for reassembly.

Joe -

Please buy new Sodastream unit it come with new gasket. Smile

Joe Montero -

Ebay has the seals.

Warren Hancock -

No. As far as I can see, eBay has only seals for the CO2 bottle connection, not the tapered seal for the soda bottle.

Malcolm Noble -

Has anyone found the tapered seals for the water bottle ?

Ian Bathgate -

No I’m still looking it’s scandalous throwing all that plastic away for a little rubber gasket. Shame on Soda Stream. If I have to replace it I will not be buying Sodastream it will be an alternative manufacturer!

Bev Edwards -

Super toto MERCI

Avez-vuos des photos à l'étape 17 avant que les morceaux ne tombent... ou bien ajouter sur le tuto de faire la photo

De toutes manières + merci

Biezin -

Is it my imagination or did they not make this eventual needed repair easy on purpose..

Bill -

Does anybody know where to buy the rubber seal?

Stefan Stromeier -

I didn't need to replace the rubber gasket at all. My model is a slightly different SodaStream Source - one without a battery unit that receives power through a wall outlet. The problem: loud noise when operating the machine and almost no carbon in the water.

In my case the cause was that the rubber gasket had gone off center. The spout/tube part is supposed to be asymmetrically positioned, pointing slightly away from the machine. Everything else should look symmetrical: the black circle of rubber should be smack bang in the center of the white plastic opening, viewed from below.

I fixed this by disassembling the machine until I could access the six screws shown in step 19 and remove the rubber seal. There was some minor debris on it, which I cleaned off, but other than that the seal was in perfect condition. Once I repositioned the seal, the machine started working perfectly again. I've used it almost daily for 5+ years so I don't expect to have to replace the seal any time soon, if ever.

Maaria Kaanaa -

Some notes on disassembly of this different model. The part that's in place of the battery unit can't be fully detached as shown. There are short wires running through on the top side that could get damaged if you pull too carelessly. Pull off the lower side first, then the top side using more care. I was able to access the rubber seal by leaving this unit hanging over the top side while dismantling the lower parts.

I didn't have to fully detach the two sides of the body, but I did have to take out the attaching screws to bring them apart slightly (four screws in my case, not three as stated in step 13). Some parts are different than on this guide, but dismantling was not super complicated using common sense.

When reassembling the thing, I recommend keeping the loader tab tilted forward until all the parts shown in step 10 and 16 have been put back in place. I accidentally tilted the tab in without them in place and couldn't bring it back forward again without taking the body apart once more.

Maaria Kaanaa -
