Yeah, that would work.



Anyone thinking about doing this, keep two things in mind. One, use two complete cords. If there is no neutral with the hot wire, it will get hot and could start a fire. Two, only use it long enough to see if the dryer will start, then shut the dryer off immediately. The vacuum cleaner sized wires are too small to carry the load. Hopefully, the breaker will trip if the wires get too hot but don't plan on it.
