Default Old oven timer makes a noise when oven is off

This is an old electric powered oven. Ive never touched the timer but
it is giving off a noise like low boiling water. The transformer is hot
to the touch. Disconnected power to oven and noise stopped. I assume
that when the timer and oven are off that the transformer should not be
hot? I assume something has shorted?

The motor is making noise. Eventually it will stop but there's nothing
dangerous. The motor or just the rotor/gear module - the silver part on
the right hand side of

- can be lubed or replaced (if you can find one).
