change the plug noting the polarity. one wire in the flat cable has a rib running the whole length, the other wire has no rib. the ribbed wire goes on the brass screw in the replacement plug. the non ribbed wire goes on the nickel shaded screw. the green or yellow/green goes on the green screw. the plug is getting warm because the spring tension in the receptacle is getting weak. any little bit of arcing in the receptacle will create heat.

Many "old-fashioned" hardware stoves have a ribbed tube that fits inside the hose and a pair of clamps for the outside. Cut the hose where the leak is, put a clamp on each side of the cut, slide the ribbed tube into one side of the cut, push on the other side of the tube, tighten the clamps and you are done. Except for the shopping trip, it should take less than five minutes for the fix and the only tolls you will need ar a knide (or limb pruner) and a screwdriver.
With the unit unplugged, check the elements to see if one has become unseated. A gentle push should seat them. Some elements are plug in & can come unseated.
If you find a source for a replacement locking handle, we would appreciate you letting us know. Likewise, we will let you know if we find a source.
Thanks,
