Solid red light and overheating

[house236]

Hi 

I have a solid red light on my hub 3.0. It’s been there for a couple of weeks. I have read that it may be due to overheating. The hub does feel hotter than normal. I have tried the factory reset (pin method) and have even left it off for 24hours to see if it cools down but the red light has returned. It is in a really well ventilated position and in fact is next to a desktop fan which is currently keeping it cooler. There are also intermittent wi-fi dropouts that are becoming annoying. Is it still safe to use as I’m worried about the overheating. I work from home so need it all of the time. Can somebody help?
