Mine doesn't. Under normal operating conditions, a GFCI should not heat up. Is your unit still under warranty? If it is, by all means have it replaced. If not, you have several options available. The most simple option is to cut the bad one off and wire in a new one. Or you could replace it with a standard plug if (and only if) you have a GFCI somewhere in the electric supply running to it. This could take the form of a GFCI-protected extension cord, a GFCI-protected outlet, or a GFCI-protected circuit breaker.

All the obligatory disclaimers -- check your building codes for any local regulations, work with an electrician if you have to, this post is for informational purposes only, etc etc etc.
