Hi there, I know this is an old post, but I have the same concern or need
and by reading this I guess I could do the following in my case.

I want to plug my dryer (NEMA 14-30P) on the stove receptor (NEMA 14-50R)
so I will.

1.- Replace the dryers cord with a (NEMA 14-50P)
2.- When ever I need to use the dryer I would remove the fuse box. Remove
the 2 40amp (one time) 250v or less fuses that are use for the Oven/Ranger.
3.- Plug in my dryer.
4.- Insert 2 30amp 250v fuses.

And when I want to cook, I would repeat the steps but with the correct
fuse for the oven.

UNLESS...

The dryer can take the 40amp fuses the current fuse box has for the stove.

Regards, Hernan

the fuse(s) or breaker is to protect the wiring. Has nothing to do with
what you plug into it.
