Check with your Viking rep. I had a problem that the door swings too wide. They said they are coming u with a kit to replace the door stop. I was told there will be a 100 degree doorstop kit for my problem The door when swung open gets a ding from an adjacent Viking electric oven with the professional door.

The doors are out of alignment.
pretty tricky to get right - and professional help is suggested.

Check the lower hinge of that door for a broken closer cam. The upper hinge is adjustable and adjusting the corners in the front will shift the cabinet to align the door also.

This is normal operation,the new units are very efficient and air tight so when you close one door especially hard you are forcing air into the inside that has to escape somewhere therefor it forces the door that is stationary open just enough for the air to escape,as long as the door closes back afterward you have no problem if the door opens and swings out,then you would have a leveling problem the fridge would be leaning too far to the front. 

Does it have a magnetic gasket? If that has cracked and failed, it's not too hard to replace. If the door is warped out of shape, just push it back.

yes you can, or just removed the bottom drawer, open the upper doors and slide the refrigeraro thru the doorway by just swinging it thru. a mover friend of mine showed me that trick at it work great.

On the bottom of the door there is a part called a door closure kit.It operates like a cam. There are high and low points on the part that aid in the opening and closing of the doors. Do-it yourselfer project.

Go to this link and you can see all the identical sized models with a right swing door. The hinges are the same so you could easily swap them; http://www.kitchenaid.com/catalog/category.jsp?categoryId=77#85 here's a link to the user manual if you need it; http://www.kitchenaid.com/assets/pdfs/literature/Use%20and%20Care%20Guide%20-%202300253.pdf check page 7 and 8 for how to swap a door. Page 20 gives you contact details for spare parts. Hope this helps :)
