My first reaction... I suppose if it is working now, I would probably do nothing other than to watch it very closely over the next couple of weeks.
On a side note, how much force was used when the knob was pushed in? I wonder if turning the knob while it is pushed in might cause a problem. The timers are designed to be turned clockwise only. Perhaps she tried to turn it counter clockwise, causing contacts to flex and short out. Just brain-storming... Malcolm |

Most likely a small piece of stray metal caused the short or it could be a timer starting to fail I would do nothing.
You know the circuit breakers both work well if something does go wrong.
Remember this dryer is still under parts and labor warranty so if something goes wrong let's speed Queen fix it free. |
