Who do you call to fix a washing machine?

Ours has just stopped mid-cycle and won’t drain. Do I need an appliance repair person or can any plumber sort this?

"Normally, you would call up whoever the washing machine provider is if it's under warranty. If the washing machine is second-hand with no warranty, you can call upon a plumber, although not all plumbers do these sorts of jobs"
