Hey all.
Man. I haven't been around for a while. I've been preoccupied with health problems. Hope everyone's been good. I don't know how big of a problem we have with our mixer. I used it to whip some potatoes for supper today, then walked away to go eat. My better half was doing some kitchen clean-up after supper, and discovered oil leaking out of the head of the mixer. Has anyone else seen or experienced this? Any idea if it's a big problem or not? It's a lower end Artisan model, and we've had it for about 16 years; although it's seen very little use in that time. Also, I'm not a DIYer. It's going to have to go to a repair guy. I was just curious if anyone knows what is likely wrong with it. Thank you. Barry |

I'm relieved to know that it's not something terminal, and that y'all were able to tell me exactly what the problem is!
After watching the attached video, I almost wish I was more of a DIY type. Nice to know that KitchenAid will recondition it. And reasonably! I don't know if I'll attempt it myself, but it's nice to know what's going on with it, and that I have options! Thank you all again! Barry |

I will go home and run mine. I am sure it thinks I died about a decade ago. Thanks. |

No oil out of the 45; 3 drops slung out of the 4C and into the bowl, but no more. |
