We had this problem a couple of years ago........You can do this , but remember to unplug your refrigerator/freezer first .Then you can do it once you open the freezer door, at a distance.You don't want to place the very hot dryer on the tube

Luckily, we had an extra fridge in the basement(a lot of work)

We also used coolers with ice for some things...
