Abstract: A washing machine appliance is provided, including a cabinet having a rear panel, a wash tub located within the cabinet, and a shipping spacer assembly. The shipping spacer assembly is removably attached to the wash tub for fixing a distance between the wash tub and the cabinet in an installed position. The shipping spacer assembly includes a bolt, a spacer, and a locking mechanism. The bolt includes a shaft extending along an axial direction, and a head located at one end of the shaft. The bolt defines a lock-receiving feature along the shaft. The spacer defines a bolt cavity extending along the axial direction and removably receives the shaft. The locking mechanism removably engages the bolt at the lock-receiving feature to secure the spacer to the bolt.

Abstract: A shipping spacer assembly is configured to be removably attached to a wash tub of a washing machine for fixing a distance between a wash tub and a cabinet of a washing machine appliance in an installed position. The shipping spacer assembly includes a bolt, a cord retention mechanism, and a grommet. The bolt includes a shaft extending along an axial direction, a head located at one end of the shaft, and a threaded portion located opposite the head in the axial direction. The cord retention mechanism is configured for receipt of a power cord. The cord retention mechanism is positioned between the head of the bolt and the rear panel in the installed position. The grommet defines a grommet cavity. The shaft is removably positioned through the grommet cavity.

Abstract: A washing machine appliance may include a tub, a basket, an impeller base, an extended post, and a connector bar. The basket may be rotatably positioned within the tub. The impeller base may include a mounting face disposed radially inward from one or more impeller fins. The mounting face may include a mounting bracket defining one or more attachment slots. The extended post may be removably attached to the impeller base and include a base body, an auger fin, and a mating face. The base body may define an interior cavity. The auger fin may extend radially from the base body. The mating face may include a mating collar defining one or more attachment rails corresponding to the one or more attachment slots. The connector bar may be selectively received within the interior cavity.
