So the fob still locks and unlocs the car right? how about starting...does it start when you get in the car with the fob and push the button?

If you are thinking the key warped in the dryer I doubt it.

If it works, then you're golden. If you're concerned there may be moisture inside, pop off the battery cover and stick the fob in a bowl of rice (uncooked!) and use your spare for a day or two.
