I'd have to say yes, probably...at least if he's still right there, nearby. The vibration might scare him further into the walls. And kitchens are very dangerous places for snakes anyway: they can get killed* if they get into appliances, possibly attracted by moisture or warmth. (*by the motor or fan in the refrigerator, etc)
Honestly I was worried sick when my bull snake got loose, I hope you (and your snake!) get lucky too. I really think yours will take a snooze for a while, and it's lucky you have a corn snake, not something "tropical" (like a BP) that would likely get sick from being too cold. Corn snakes need a little extra warmth (80-85*) to digest, of course, but otherwise often prefer 70-72*. On the floor, it's usually chilly in winter time no matter how warm your house is, so it's likely your snake will 'chill out' for a while. Like I said, don't give up if you don't see him for several months. It may take that long for him to get active.
