Howdy,
I have a single stage ranco temp controller and a 20 yr old Kenmore fridge with freezer on top. I want the freezer to remain at freezer temps. Will the ranco take over control of the fridge only or will it take over the freezer also?
Cheers

It’ll take over the power cord. That’ll control the whole thing. Gotta sacrifice the freezer. Unless you rewire some stuff, in which case I can’t help because I’m not electrician.
I believe that having frozen and fermentor temps in the same box would be a near impossible task
Most of those old refrigerators have the cooling coils in the freezer and a fan controlled by a thermostat circulates cold air into the refrigerator space as needed. It would be tricky, but if you could rig the temp controller to that fan them you’d have a freezer and fermentation chamber. I know when the fan breaks the freezer stays cold while the fridge is warm.
