Unfortunately none of them are built to last anymore.

That's my memory just from using my old top loader. A couple times I forgot to close the lid & it would run through the entire cycle until the spin & then it would just do nothing until you closed the lid. However that was also an older machine newer ones may only fill as it agitating with the lid open could be dangerous.
