Most probable cause IMHO is that the wires to the socket terminals are not tight, this 'slack' connection increases the the current and thus creates heat, seen it many a time. Check it / or get it checked out, as well as the socket, check the insulation on the wires, these in some / most cases will have been damaged by the heat generated.
