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

They fix is basically regreasing the assembly where the leak is coming from. You can find tutorials online.
I read that even lack of use could cause it to happen.
edit: and yes the grease does eventually "disappear", have repacked mine once in 3 years so not a huge deal.

Imagine my disappointment when I realized that it was leaking grease into my food negating the purpose of that purchase, while KitchenAid refused to do anything about it because according to them it was "normal."

What model of bosh mixer do you have, and what is the capacity?
I can run 3kg of dough in my KA pro but no more than that and i just replaced gears (10+ years old mixer), would like to upgrade to larger capacity but I also need bigger oven

Thanks folks.

Might be labeled as commercial but would not last in a commercial kitchen.
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
Although this mixer runs much cooler (I assume because of the DC motor), have kneaded dough for 20 minutes without issues. Old one (5.5 quart) would be too hot to touch after 10 minutes.
