No, not directly. You don't want 100A going through your Fluke it will fry it and you. And it would give you the reading you want anyway.
I'm no electrician, but the clamp on attachment for using a Fluke isn't the same thing. Where you going to hook the Sears clamp on meter, you have to put it on an electrical leg inside the box where the 100A juice is open and exposed. Or you can open the box at the dryer and clamp each leg of wire to see the draw. My vote again is aging breakers with corrosion and corroded buss bars.
