If you are at all handy with tools, and comfortable with basic wiring, you can build a temp controller pretty cheaply using an STC-1000 controller.  This will be able to keep your fridge at the temps you want it.  There's no way to use the fridge controls with any accuracy without an external controller.

Even easier - buy one of these. $30. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/322059258645?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true
Yup, controls both refer and heater.

Nice. I will have to look in to some of those temp controls. I'm sure I can do something like that. Thanks.
