Your waste must be plumbed into the sink waste which is not an ideal situation.
Look at the waste pipe and you will probably find that the pipe is lower down than the waste trap. Can you raise the washing machine pipe by for example fixing a hook under the worktop and hanging the machine pipe from it.
