If a clothes washing machine begins leaking, are there ways to catch and detect the leak as there are with hot water heaters?

If so, by what terms can I search to find such parts?

There are trays available in the big box home stores for this. Some come with a knock out for a drain hose if you have a place to drain excess water to. They are sized so most washing machines will fit. The last I bought, in 2017 were about $30 each.

  • Or if you know that it leaks and want to know where, slide a sheet of newspaper under it and look occasionally. – Polypipe Wrangler Mar 13 '20 at 12:04
