Viking 42" built-in units usually don't offer any door adjustments. If one of the doors are not closing well, check for obstructions blocking the door bins, worn door gasket, and possible door warp-age on the panel ready models. Viking did have top hinge recalls updating to the new "Cobra" hinge on many of their models which can be verified by calling viking and providing your full model/serial numbers. If your Fridge door is lower than the freezer door you most likely have a worn door closer located on the lower hinge of the fridge door, the closer is a 2 piece plastic interlocking/mating unit which wears down over time from friction. This usually needs to be replaced. Pleazer Appliance...

Model DDSB483DSS 48-inch side by side. Why does the freezer door pop open when refrigerator door is opened or closed?

The freezer door may be misaligned from top to bottom, resulting in poor contact with the magnetic seal. Another possibility is that the hinges are defective or misaligned, allowing the door to pop open.

One of the doors (on the Viking french door fridge) opens too wide (180 degrees). I want to tighten it so it only opens slightly more than 90 degrees. The other door is fine. Thanks.

Check with your Viking rep. I have the same problem and got word from Viking they are coming up with a new hinge doorstop at different angles. It will come in a form of a kit. The one I'm getting is about 100 degree opening. The problem I had was the door was hitting and adjacent electric oven from Viking. It just swung too wide.

One door lower than other, how to adjust door

The door can be adjusted with shims on the hinge post or by adjusting the cabinet by raising the front corner opposite the higher door. Keep in mind the doors are not designed to be perfectly even.If the difference is the depth of a quarter or less it is good. The seals making good contact all the way around is more important. Eric

Oven door hinge adjustment...?

Regarding the oven door not closing all the way and dropping suddernly to the floor, I called a local authorized service company and asked if there was a door spring (no). So the recommended solution is to have the hinges replaced. However, since the oven door didn't really hold its open position from the beginning, when it was brand new back in 01, I'm going to see if a new Viking oven has the same defect as ours. Then, it would seem like a good idea to take a chance on having it repaired.

Is replacing a set of oven door hinges something a person with reasonable mechanical aptitude can do?
