Not that I know of, but I'm sure if one asked an insurance company, they would happily say yes and sell you an extra policy.
We have no home watch company in MI like they have here. We have been taking care of this ourselves, following a previous poster's long list of preparations.
We've never had a problem with seals. We turn the fridge, water, ice maker off. The water is drained. Cover the johns with saran wrap, open undersink cabinet doors. We have the furnace and hot water heater checked every year before we leave, and a person walks through every week.
Frankly, I would be quite happy if my dishwasher broke, since I've never liked it.
