A washing appliance with an agitator post configured for removable positioning in a receptacle. A shaft may be supported by the agitator post, the shaft rotatable relative to the agitator post. A plurality of movable tabs may be positioned at the bottom end of the agitator post and in mechanical communication with the shaft such that a direction of rotation of the shaft causes the plurality of movable tabs to be selectively movable along a radial direction between an extended position in contact with the receptacle that prevents rotation of the agitator post relative to the receptacle and a retracted position that allows rotation of the agitator post relative to the receptacle.

A washing appliance having an article movement mechanism including an impeller and agitator post. An impeller is positioned in the wash drum and is rotational about a vertical axis and is configured for imparting motion to the articles during washing. An agitator post is positioned adjacent to the impeller and is also rotational about the vertical axis. The agitator post includes a plurality of vane sets spaced apart along the vertical axis with each vane set including at least one helical vane.

A filtration system for a laundry treating machine is provided. A filtration agitator extends upwards from an impeller base and defines a generally hollow cylindrical interior, the filtration agitator having one or more water inlets along its perimeter to permit passage of water from a treating chamber into the interior and one or more water outlets along its perimeter to permit passage of the water out of the interior. A removable cylindrical brush assembly is provided, that, when installed to the filtration agitator, extends along the vertical length of the agitator and defines a sequence of filtration elements through which a water flow passes from the water inlets to the water outlets. The water flow is configured to pass over the sequence of filtration elements in a predefined order to remove particulates from the water flow during a wash cycle.

A washer appliance with a removable agitator post includes an impeller supporting a receptable having multiple features for receipt of agitator tabs to secure or release the agitator post. A biasing element may be used to help secure or release the agitator post. The agitator post is rotated to secure or release it from the impeller. A removable cap may be included.
