I have a similar add-on gadget on the washing machine (clothes) for the same
reason
I made a drip pan out of galv sheet metal to put under the washer.

Keep this in mind when trying to maintain older dishwashers: The cost of
dealing with the results of a water leak can greatly exceed the price of a
new dishwasher.
The year before last, our mediocre GE dishwasher decided to spew a couple of
hundred gallons of water down into our finished basement. After replacing
the flooring and ceiling, we bought a fancy high-end dishwasher that has a
drip pan and leak detector circuit that shuts off the water if leakage is
detected. In addition, whenever the dishwasher is not actually filling, a
solenoid valve at the far end of the hose (where it is connected to the
plumbing) is closed, preventing the risk of flooding from a failed hose.
