Why is oil leaking down into the mixing bowl on the Hobart HL200 Mixer

It could be 2 things.

Either a shear pin has sheared and the paddle is sticking at the same spot.
or
The is a nylon cog inside that has lost teeth and it sticks there.

The only way to diagnose is to take it apart. It is a very MESSY job full of grease and oil.

That is a $10k to $20k mixer, depending on where you buy it. I have used one of these. Unfortunately, grinding noises that result in the motor stopping can be fixed with a power disconnect.

Grinding noises = dry bearings, to seized bearings, to shredded or stripped gears. You need a Hobart Service Tech.

Looks to be a drift pin missing. See parts diagrams in above manual.

check inside the machine housing the part where the handle is moving but the rest of assembly is not it could be a pin has dropped out. use something like a nail etc to block this part so that the handle turns the assembly. until you can get a replacement.

if this is not the case then a part is broken and needs replacing.
see manual at this link.

see part pin PS-004-15 this could be the problem on pages regarding base and pedestal you can see the lifter assembly diagram here and a list of parts if replacements are needed.
also to reduce wear on this lifter ensure the bowl holding arms sliding rails are kept clean and lubricated. if they get fouled up with flour etc this over time, plus the weight of the bowl can cause excessive strain on the lifter assembly.

I hope this was helpful.

Trina you might be better off to contact Hobart or an authorised Hobart service agent about this. The lack of answers probably indicates resident hobart experts are absent.

Answer was issued already!

I'd say you're most likely overloading the mixer. This mixer, and others similar in size, are frequently overloaded by people making pizza dough. If you are making dough, keep in mind the A-200's capacity is 9 lb. of 40% A.R. pizza dough, mixed for 5 minutes maximum. If you need to mix longer, the batch must be cut down even smaller, but I don't even know if you're mixing dough.

Try running the mixer unloaded (i.e. nothing in the bowl) for ten minutes or more and see if it gets hot. If it still gets hot, the motor's start circuit (varies depending upon age of the A-200; Hobart used numerous motors in the A-200 over the years, incorporating different starting circuits) most likely has problems. If it doesn't get hot when operating unloaded, then you're probably overheating the mixer by overloading it.

The oil leeking into your bowl is old grease that has broken down into oil and is getting past your oil seal you need to take out all of your old grease and oil replace it with hi-temp grease or a good grade lithium grease and replace your agitor shaft oil seal

You have killed it by overloading the bowl. Hobart recomends no more than 65% bowl capacity on doughs & 75% on batters or icings. Replace the motor or the whole unit
