Wired doorbell warm to touch. Replacement wired doorbell is the same too.

[bobhdz]

I installed a wired doorbell a few months ago and I noticed that the doorbell was warm to the touch. About 95-98 degrees Fahrenheit based on my infrared thermometer. Everything appears to be operating well - video, technical doorbell, motion detection. I contacted Arlo support on whether having a warm doorbell normal and they responded back several times asking me a variety of questions, often times with duplicate questions. Eventually someone called me and decided to send me a replacement doorbell. No one has ever been able to tell me if a warm doorbell was normal. I suspect it is not and the situation may degrade the life of the doorbell.

So I installed the replacement doorbell. Again, everything seems to be operating well, but the new doorbell is also warm. The doorbell never gets any sunlight and the outside temperature has maybe gotten to 80 degrees F in the last few months. I do not want to go through Arlo support again because I think they only the questions they are supposed to ask, but no answers to my questions.

Does anyone have advice on what I need to be looking for? Thanks.
