Voltage, current doesn't count then. I wonder how DC can heat up a
connection then.

Being coiled has nothing at all to do with getting hot, it is merely
that more heat is concentrated in that area. Heat comes from
resistance, and at 60 Hz that is the ONLY factor.

Was the cord coiled up making an electro magnetic heater?

I'd be suspect of the cord setup as then can generate a lot of
heat. Years ago at work had one start to smoke plugged to a truck
block heater. Where the cord was coiled, it go damned hot and that
heat translates to energy use.
