SodaStream Source: Why does water squirt everywhere when carbonating water?

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 18:47:05 -0700

I have been given a soda stream as a birthday gift which sprays water everywhere when you try and carbonate water. There is a small red/orange peg about 5mm long loose in the box, I’m wondering if this could be the culprit? I don’t have the receipt as it was a gift and the purchaser doesn't’ either and doesn’t live in the same country as me. It seems a waste to chuck it but it’s of no use to us in its current state. Any advice?

SodaStream Source: Why will the lever not push back fully with a bottle inserted?

Thu, 25 Apr 2024 17:46:49 -0700

The device has worked fine until now, but when I insert a bottle now the lever won’t fully go back into position. It works fine without the bottle but now it won’t work.

Has something broken or bent? I can’t see anything different up there. We have it on two different machines now.

SodaStream Source: I've moved countries and the gas canisters no longer fit my SodaStream

Tue, 20 Sep 2022 23:44:20 -0700

New Zealand SodaStreams have a different thread for gas canisters. I’d rather continue using my existing machine than buy a new one. Where can I get a replacement part to allow me to use the local gas canisters?

Gas will not stop coming out after carbonation. Returning the plunger to the initial position will not stop the gas escaping

SodaStream Source: Same Question; different year Where the __ can I get washer that fits

Tue, 13 Jul 2021 21:26:49 -0700

Sodastream; like the idea and hate the fact that i’ve spent a couple of years looking for what you’d think is or must be an easy washer to obtain. The washer that needs changed frequently that holds the carbonater or Co2 gas container up in the back of the unit and i found one guy on line and was fine and went back to mail again a second time and he’d sent washers that was just a little too big this time around. And Amazon wasn’t useful in this regard (nope)! And neither is the manufacturer or the current manufacturer who ever took over the business/company/corp. It’s not a friendly outfit that you’d think by giving out information of the exact washer size, the correct fitting one little neurphrene o ring that that’s giving away State’s secrets. Oh we wouldn’t want to make it too easy for you to replace that little washer on the Source Sodastream, maybe he will just finally lose his cool and throw it away and never buy another one after all, maybe that’s more like it.

SodaStream Source: Why is nothing happening when I activate the machine?

Thu, 17 Dec 2020 12:19:27 -0700

I have the Soda Stream Source, and it stopped fizzing the water. I have bought a new gas bottle, and also changed the battery. The lights activate on the front panel but no gas is released in to the soda stream bottle, therefore no fizz. Has anyone had this issue before?

SodaStream Source: Opened my sodastream to look for issues, and the gold bar was missing!

Wed, 06 May 2020 10:26:49 -0700

The sodastream worked very poorly. I needed to press for ages to carbonate anything, and it barely carbonated. Gas canisters emptied way quicker than i felt they should as well, and sometimes the nozzle would keep spraying even when i stopped pressing, until i unscrewed the canister and then put it backin. I decided to open it up to see if i could find any problems, and in the dissassembly tutorial you remove a gold bar that i assume is for properly pressing and pulling several parts, but that bar is literally not in the machine? The hole for it is there so i am left bewildered.

Is this a manifacturing error, or just a different model? I’m having lot of errors so i hope this is the solution, but i have no idea where i would even find such an obscure part. Then again maybe any generic sylinder that fits would do the trick. Thoughts?

After disassembling the Sodastream to the core. I gave it a clean thoroughly. While washing I found a button cell magnet stuck at the bottom of the sink.

Where is this button magnet supposed to go in the Sodastream?

Thank you in advance for the help.
