What rating is the sauna and is it a moulded plug on the lead to the sauna?
The heat can be caused by the load of the appliance or loose connections.
As you have already said the sauna is plugged into an extension lead, and that plug is staying cool, that may rule out load.
It's possible that the socket on your extension lead may not be a tight enough fit when the sauna is plugged into it, or the connections may have worked loose, (extension leads do take some stick, dragged along the floor, dropped etc) so check the socket connections to ensure they are tight. If the connections are tight then change the socket completely.
If the plug on the sauna lead is heat damaged then that will require changing as well.
Hope this helps
