I would think it would be fine keeping potatoes and onion sets in a fridge as long it was set above freezing. I base my thought on the fact that we keep potatoes in the fridge all the time and the do eventually start sprouting. They probably need to removed a few weeks before they are planted and even longer if you are going to chitt the potatoes.

Hope that helps.

Set your fridge to about 4degrees and they should be fine. Not sure about the onions to be honest. When you want to chit them place them on a North facing window.
