That is a very bad sign, but before you unplug it pull the machine out from the wall and check to see if it feels hot back there as well. Then remove the lower cover and find the condersor fan motor. Its the only fan back there. I'd willing to bet that the fan is not running. The purpose of the the fan is draw air across the compressor and blow it through the condensor therefore lowering the temperature on both parts. When its not working/ running, the heat from the compressor and the condensor is pass onward to the machine and the machine then acts as a heat sink.

Hot wire delta 400lb

What do your mean, "hot wire"?? If you are opening that PS up and digging around in it, be very careful; the capacitors hold an electrical charge long after the unit is unplugged and you can get a dangerous jolt if you touch the wrong thing.

Cord gets hot where you plug into outlet hot meaning warm to the touch but can hold your hand around cord and is comfortable.Is this dangerous? Could this start a fire?

Not dangerous at all. All heaters create some warmth around where the plug enters the outlet. WARM, not hot, if it's HOT too the touch, then it's a problem. Never use extension cords, and never splice the cord... also don't run the wire under rugs etc... you'll be fine.

Amana Top Freezer Refrigerator is hot to the touch on the outside on the sides by the freezer. Still working fine inside. Is something getting ready to break inside?

The problem was the fan. It was hitting the metal enclosure and had stopped working. We made an adjustment and cleaned it and now it works fine and the hot spots are gone.
