    That is normal for a freezer munion heater.   It has to be so that you can open the door. Notice that the hot part is centered in the munion, but there has to be enough heat to the edges to quickly melt ice and evaporate water.  If you think it is to hot, often they have a variable resitor next to the door.  Get a infrared thermometer and measure.
