Magic cupboard hinge

I've got an internal 90 degree corner in a kitchen. On one side of the corner is a cupboard and on the other a cavity with a washing machine. The cupboard door used to open fine, but our new washer is a smidge deeper so now the cupboard door only opens to about 60 degrees before the face of the washer prevents it swinging wider. It's a minor irritation, but would like to get it sorted if possible.
The cupboard door is hung with big standard concealed hinges. What I'm hoping is that someone can give me the name of some clever hinge that will allow the cupboard door to open fully. Maybe it will let the door move maybe half an inch to the right (when facing the cupboard) as it opens so it clears the obstruction and opens fully. Something like that.
Anybody got a name of such a magic hinge I can Google?

i used screwfix https://www.screwfix.com/p/hafele-steel ... _container which open the thickness of the door frame , which is up against a tiled wall - a cupboard I made myself
Do you have photo of your hinges though and perhaps a photo of the issue with door jamming
I thought most kitchen hinges have a lot of adjustment to move sideways

Have a look at the Blum 155 or 170 degree hinge. Spin to the 6 minute point on this video to see if it will help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eFMUzSoL3Y
