A washer-type machine containment pedestal tray having sensor-shutoff device for removing power from the washing machine. The invention provides a pedestal for mounting a washing machine thereon and further, that is capable of containing overflow water should the machine malfunction. The collection of water in the containment pedestal tray actuates a float which in turn trips an electrical switch to remove operative power from the washing machine motor, thus stopping the overflow. Adjunct means are also used on the switch for sounding an audible alarm to operating personnel.
