Drying times should definitely be observed. Messing around for a few days now can backfire in the end. If it really can't be helped with the cable, why don't you get some mineral wool or styrofoam and stuff it into the open window? That costs a few euros and half an hour of work.
The problem isn't even that you're heating out the window. Your basement wall or the entire room cools down, the moisture present in the house condenses, and it molds.
That's why you shouldn't overdo it when ventilating in winter. Better 5 times a day for 10 minutes than once for an hour. The room must not cool down too much while airing, otherwise you (in places, preferably on the outer wall) fall below the dew point...
