1. A laundry treating system, comprising:
a removable clothes mover configured to be received into a base,
the base having a first connector, a socket, a cover moveable between a closed position covering the socket and an open position allowing access to the socket, the cover being biased into the closed position,
the removable clothes mover having a second connector configured to be received by the first connector, such that pressing the removable clothes mover into the socket for connecting the first and second connectors overcomes the bias and moves the cover into the open position.
