If you are reffering to a water trap that you find under most sinks, I don't think you would find one of those on a washing machine drain, and you really wan't to be careful with that Drano stuff.
You can by a pretty long "snake" type thing that you ram down the drain pipe, it has a handle on the outside end that you turn that spins a drill type device on the business end and it chews through whatever is causing the blockage. You likely have a build up lint in the pipe. Failing that, that one second plumber stuff is pretty good and should have an attachment that will form a reasonable seal on the drain pipe. Safer than the corrosive Drano as all it does is blast air down the pipe. Make sure you have some water in it prior to firing it though, it needs something to push against.
