Has anyone else had this problem?
There looks to be some leakage from the bowl to the base. At first, I thought it was rust but it is not rust.
I keep wiping it and it keeps reappearing!

Not had that problem courton. Do you have a second bowl you can test to see if it does the same thing? I wonder if the o-ring on the bottom of the blade assembly needs replacing? Have you taken it off and given it and the spindle a good clean just in case there is something caught under it?

Just spoke to TMX HO and the service man said that the blade had worn out after 4 years and it was common around this age to replace it! >:( >:( >:( >:(
I have just ordered a new blade@$115. I did not expect the TMX to do this after paying $2k for it. Other appliances last and last. And, I probably use it only once per day. ???

It's a bit like when the blades are stripped. Very annoying for you.

yep. >:(

I've had this occur courton. My tmx is only 2 years old. It seems to only happen when I am using my bowl for lots of things in one day and washing it quickly and reusing it. I thought that maybe I wasn't drying it properly? It doesn't occur every time I use it.
-
I have had this happen but the same as Kimmyh - I have just put it down to not drying properly. Will have to keep an eye on it I suppose. Don't like the thought of paying $115 for new blade however as I won't work without it I guess you don't have much choice.
-
Mine was happening all the time. It looks like rust but it isn't.
-
If you've ever dropped your bowl it could be a warped bowl.

I have never dropped the bowl Den. Ever since I got a new blade the problem seems to have stopped.
