Abstract
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.
