Thank you SO much for this! I was having a lot of trouble with this thing not releasing the bottle, so I disassembled it all and put it back together and now it works a treat! Not sure what was going on but I am so excited. You weren’t kidding at the end about it all falling apart… took ages to work out how it all went back together, but now I understand it and I have a working SodaStream. 5*!

Do you know where the tiny magnet goes? It fell out on the table as I was disassembling.

I think it has something to do with the microchip for the LED’s. Can’t figure out how else the light would light. I haven’t taken it apart far enough to find the magnet. Hope this helps you.

You can see the magnet in step 18, the first picture. Its right below where a screw used to be.
I placed sodastream on side and removed top half. I could then see where parts needed to be after they “fell out” for reassembly. More pictures of those steps would be helpful. Thank
