A mechanism to control the temperature in the freezer and fresh food compartments of a side-by-side refrigerator includes an elongated support plate mounted in the upper portion of the fresh food compartment. A fresh food thermostat is mounted under the plate adjacent to the mullion separating the compartments and its control shaft is aligned with an opening in the plate. A pinion gear is connected to the shaft and is positioned above the plate. A freezer thermostat is mounted under the plate at a position more remote from the mullion and its control shaft is aligned with an opening in the plate. A pinion gear is connected to the control shaft and is positioned above the plate. A fresh food rack gear is slidingly mounted on the plate remote from the mullion and includes an elongated arm with teeth that engage the fresh food pinion gear. A freezer rack gear is slidingly mounted on the plate close to the mullion and includes an elongated arm with teeth that engage the teeth on the freezer pinion gear. Each rack gear includes a tab for user movement of that rack gear to adjust the setting of the corresponding thermostat.
