CD player overheating

I have a '02 F-150 and I had noticed in the winter the CD player would heat up and would spit out on the display that the CD is too hot. This happened on longer trips and I was wondering if anybody else had this problem and maybe what can be done to fix it.

FYI- never heard of the player actually ejecting the disc, but there has been some comments of the player making the disc really hot.

I used to have this problem with my factory cd player as well.

I went down to walmart and picked up a CD player cleaning disc, and it solved my problem.

If you still have base warranty,it should be covered,not sure what it is in the U.S but in Canada it's 3 year 60k,good luck.

I remember the CD's would come out hot as hell on my '01 Supercrew. I never got that reading though. My current '03 Supercrew doesn't have that problem, so I would believe there must be a cooling fan on the new ones like Hotwheels1973 says.

Intresting responses, my 03 supercrew had a cd/radio replaced under warrenty a few monthes ago. It seems my 3 year old or my wife not sure which one tried to load 2 or 3 cds at the same time. I removed 2 cds trying to fix it myself. The dealership returned the 3rd one in the mail from the original cd player. That was very nice of them. I must have a really good dealership.

Anyway the first cd player never gave a cod but the cds would get very hot. And I haven't really noticed it lately. So maybe it is because the replacement came with a fan on it. I will have to take more notice of the cd temp and let you know.
