What could be wrong when water from the washing machine backs up in the pipe?
Are you referring to the outgoing waste water backing up? You've probably got a blocked pipe running to your main sewer line. If other pipes (sink drains, toilets) aren't backing up then the blockage is between the drain pipe for the washer and wherever it ties in to the main line. You can try running a sewer snake down the waste water pipe to clear the clog. Or, the pipe could be collapsed from age/tree roots. On some older homes they don't have PVC pipe -- the lines may be old clay or paper pipes that may collapse. In that case, you'll need to dig up and replace the line.

How the sink position for the immersion heater is able to save energy?
Placing the sink closer to the immersion heater reduces heat loss through the pipes, as hot water has less distance to travel.

Additionally, having the sink position closer to the heater allows for quicker access to hot water, reducing the need to run the tap for long periods and hence saving energy.
