    Hi Mmwolf...

    Sounds like the sump pump may be slightly clogged or the pipe it drains into is partially clogged... maybe?

    Confirm that your washing machine drains into a laundry tray sump pump (a closed container system) and let me know if this seems reasonable, OK?

    Im not sure whether you saying you washer actually drains into a sump pit, or water is backing up out of the sump pit through the pump. If it doesn't drain into a sump pit, but the sump pump is tied into the washer drain, then it sounds like you have two issues. The first would be a blockage in the washer drain downstream of were the sump ties in, and the second would be lack of , or a fualty check valve on the sump pump.
