Thanks Tom I have that machine and did call GE, yet to receive an offical recall notice. The "fix" is to reduce the the spin speed. Would not be the best if you purchased an auto, and a couple of years later the mfg stopped by and reduced your speed to 45 MPH. The service fellow did re-program the machine which took about 20 minutes and did not encounter any problems. I had no idea that the machine was made in china, thought it was assembled in the US. Too bad that it has issues because its a great machine to use, like it alot, hoping the rpm reduction does not affect the cleaning and only causes a longer drying time. not a sears purchase.
