I have a side by side fridge/freezer. If I purchase the Johnson or similar plug in temperature control system, will it adjust the Refrigerator side only and not the freezer side? We have meats etc in the freezer and don't want to lose them
 
no. the controller cuts power to the entire unit when the setpoint is satisfied.

unless you can figure out how to run power to the freezer, this won't work.
 
99% of residential refrigerators have only one refrigerant circuit, feeding the freezer portion. A fraction of the airflow off the evaporator is ducted via fan(s) and/or baffle(s) to the fridge compartment. Unfortunately, you cannot separate the two within a reasonable budget.
