Is it possible, and do you need a special kit as you do with washing
machines?

I have stacked my fridge above my freezer.

No kit, just feet of fridge on the top of the freezer!

Have I committed some cardinal sin?

Only if it's a chest freezer.

The weight of the fridge will distort the chassis of the freezer. Eventually
the door of the freezer will not close correctly.

I guess that would be dependent on the freezer.

So far my fridge has been on top of my freezer for over 3 years.

When do you think I should anticipate any problems of doors not closing
properly?

For units which permit it, a coupling kit is needed to prevent the
top unit falling on top of anyone who pulls on the open door.
Sometimes includes a seal to prevent air circulating in the gap
inbetween, where it can cause condensation to form a puddle.

No doubt wise if you have small children or infirm relatives, but it
takes a fair pull to tip the one I have on top of a freezer. (It is a
fairly old and therefore heavy fridge, but the weight is well biassed
towards the bottom).
