Hairdryers are like that, they use a hell of a lot of power,

so it's logical that it will get warm. A lot depends on how old the wiring in the house is, how old the hairdryer is etc. I wouldn't have thought it should get really hot unless there's an issue with the amount of power it is drawing from the socket. Do you know what type of fuse is in it?
