Approximately 62,000 GE Profile™ front load washing machines are being recalled because the washer's internal basket can separate during a cycle and break the top panel. The company has received 19 reports of baskets separating, including 10 instances where the top panel was damaged. These units were sold in gold, red, and white colors at major retailers like Best Buy, Lowe's, Sears, and The Home Depot between July 2008 and August 2011. GE is providing a free repair to all affected owners.
The washer's basket can detach while spinning at high speeds, causing it to strike and break through the machine's top panel, which can lead to impact injuries for anyone nearby.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled washers and contact GE for a free repair.
