It’s normal.

There is an anti-condensate line there to prevent condensation where the seals meet the cabinet and that will often get warmer in summer.

Yes, you’ll always have some heat there.

Extra heat around the door frame, could indicate the condenser coil needs cleaning, it can be found generally at the rear of the unit by the compressor, if it has not been cleaned for a while the fluff builds up and then the fan cannot cool the condenser down enough and excess heat will occur around the door frame.
