Can anyone provide info on how temperature is regulated in a typical
side by side setup. I am assuming the main thermostat regulates the
freezer temperature by controlling the comopressor. The refrigerator
temperature is controlled by regulating the airflow from the freezer
to refrigerator side. Is this correct?

Thanks,
Dave

Yes, and if the airflow is impeded, it will not cool properly. You can have
a defective evaporator fan, or blocked coil.
