Well in that case strip the assembly and and make sure it is clean inside. You may be surprised at what you find - lack of use could have led to any grease in there congealing, stopping the ASA dial locking. Shutter speed knobs of the design fitted to the FX-3 can pick up dirt just from the operators fingers, so depending on where it was used just ten or twenty rolls use could cause problems to an otherwise mint camera. As you have used the camera so little since you were given it, ignore the problem if /when you use it again. Pushing down on the knob will not do any harm to the mechanism.
