General Electric is recalling its "GE Profile Front Load Washer." The problem is the washer's basket can separate during use and break the washer's top panel, posing the danger of a user hurting themself.

GE has received 19 reports of the issue. The washing machines come under several different model numbers beginning with WPDH8800, WPDH8900 and WPDH8910. The model number is located on the washer's right side near the bottom and behind the door near the door frame visible when the door is opened.

The washers were sold in gold, red and white colors. They were sold at Best Buy, Lowe's, Sears, The Home Depot and other retail stores nationwide. For a free repair, contact GE Appliances at (888) 641-9739.
