With the new more powerful pumps, ( is the new washer a Maytag?) a 1 1/2" trap and stand pi[pe isn't large to handle the volume put out by the pump.
Not too many options open here. (1) Upgrade the san tee, trap and standpipe to 2" **or** (2) purchase a 1 1/2" compression fitting,(see image) and make the hose water tight to the standpipe. There is a third option t6hat one of our askers with a new Maytag that did the same thing. The Maytag company replaced her washer with one less powerful and we haven't heard from her since. Good luck, Tom,

Over two years ago I purchased a new Kenmore washer with a drain overflow problem. The old washer (only 5 years old) drained fine. Our drain pipe was 2 inches. We thought it was a clogged drain, but it wasn't. We had to temporarily have the gray water exit through the window. Yesterday it dawned on me that the old washer drain hose had a hard plastic "U" where it went into the wall drain pipe; the new hose did not. I went to the store and purchased a new hose with a "U" in the end. Evidently, besides helping the hose stay in the drain pipe, the "U" slows down the waterflow. PROBLEM SOLVED!
