Mine was getting too hot to touch (oooerr missuss!!) so have gone for relacing the teflon seal (as in other thread/s) I would have thought a recon. would have all the repairable bits renewed so should only get as warm as not constantly having to fight to pressure up.There is a mod. to drill a hole/holes & cover in mesh in the plastic housing to improve airflow, rangie.com ,I think.
