Since I am no longer storing frozen vaccines in the freezer portion of my household-style combination refrigerator/freezer, should I just turn off the freezer portion of the unit?

No. If you turn off the freezer portion of a household-style combination refrigerator/freezer, the refrigerated compartment will not maintain the proper temperature.
