I'm not saying to reroute ALL the intake air, maybe just run a dryer hose so it covers up a few louvers on the back plate of the dryer near the blower intake. The suction would be a couple mm of water, enough to help the warm air through the hose while both units are running. Similarly, the discharge of the fridge could be coupled loosely enough not to drastically reduce airflow while the dryer isn't running. If it worked in a sailboat, it could work in a house. Total improvement in efficiency would be better than that of your average law firm.
