The part that rotates and the whisk attaches to has a direct connection to the internal mechanism and as soon as the motor heats up this black grease begins to come out around the attachment area. It's not a lot, but it's still disgusting and gets in the dough if I don't remove it in time.
KitchenAid insists that it's normal and that it's safe for my family's consumption. I'd love to feed a spoonful of it to their CEO.
Stock goes in and out quite often multiple times a day and shipping is pretty slow, so expect it to arrive in a couple of weeks.
You can open it up and replace the grease with new grease that is lighter colored and not black. The black concerns me that the gears may have worn down some. There are multiple companies that sell the grease like this https://www.amazon.com/KitchenKip...09

Mine looked brand new and the attachments were new as well.

Maybe there's not been enough research to show that it's carcinogenic, but it doesn't actually mean that it's not considering that it's a cocktail of industrial chemicals.
This is from a 2014 patent that's held by some Chinese company that makes this mystery grease:
75-86 percent of base oil
1.0-3.0 percent of benzoic acid
3.5-6.5 percent of stearic acid
3.5-7.0 percent of aluminum isopropoxide tripolymer
0.5-1.5 percent of silicone oil
1-5 percent of calcium carbonate
0.2-1.0 percent of antioxidant
0.5-2.0 percent of antirust agent

I do want all that stuff greasing the gears and internals. I wouldn't want it in my food. I've owned several kitchenaid mixers and never had any grease escape the motor/trans housing. I think that's a unit specific defect and If it's still under warranty, I'd say double-down on KitchenAid for replacement

Unfortunately it's a part of the design as per KitchenAid. Amazing mixer otherwise.
