3 port zone valve hot

My zone valve is hot to touch, it's working correctly when demand is needed for heating and water but motor unit gets so hot and stays hot to touch even when there is no demand and even when heating and water is off at the timer all night, does this mean my motor unit needs to be replaced?

I am NOT a plumber or heating engineer, but my guess would be that the motor that turns the valve is still running. I believe it is supposed to stop after it has moved. It may be something as simple as the travelling arm has missed the microswitch that turns off the motor.
