Risk
Indesit and Hotpoint have recalled some of their washing machines because the drum can tear apart - in some instances causing debris to fly from the machine.
Models affected
The machines affected were produced between 2007 and 2009. To find out if your machine has the potential fault you need the model number and serial number.
These can be found either on a sticker on the left hand side of the inside of the door or engraved on top.
