The soft hinges one one of our kitchen cupboards has suddenly lost it's soft close. It still functions normally as a hinge. Made by Nobilia. Has anyone a clue what to look for before I start to dismantle please?

Are they Blum hinges? Should be readily available if they are.Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.0

Do you have a cupboard that you rarely use with the same hinges?
If yes, then swap a hinge over as a temporary solution.A man walked into a car showroom.
He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
The man replied, “You have now mate".0 -

I had a devil of a job finding some recently for my kitchen cabinet doors (quite old) but I think I got them from Screwfix in the end. Might also be worth popping the door off and whipping down to B&Q (other sheds are available) with the hinges in your hand and you can do a comparison.0
