A washing machine includes a washing machine cabinet having a top cover thereon. The top cover has an upwardly presented surface with an access opening therein and a first sloping surface extending downwardly and away from the access opening. A lid has a seal member thereon which engages the top cover for preventing fluid or condensation from moving away from the access opening down the first sloping surface of the top cover.
