I think you will find that it is always the same slot. It would therefore appear to be a design flaw in their female cap. I do not recall seeing this problem anywhere else, so it may be more of a problem with Marinco. I do know that by insuring to turn the female cap to the lock position and tightening the locking screw ring it doesn't heat up. Note that once heating starts the contacts produce their own resistance furthering the heat build up so periodic cleaning will help. My feeling is that there should be a positve feeling of locking the plug in postion and I certainly don't feel that. Next time I'm in Home Depot I'm going to check other manufacturers male and female cap connections.
