Often a hot frame is that the condenser coils under the unit are dirty. Even a dirty condenser fan can cause this. Also check the vents at the front and back of the unit are clean. Also check that the condenser/compressor fan is running when the compressor is running. Make sure the unit has some room behind it.

Some units do have a switch often called an Eco or PowerSaver or something like that switch. It turns a heater in the seal frame area on/off. Take a look at the units control console. Though it usually just warms the frame up to prevent condensation if the relative humidity is high. The only ones I have seen are low wattage and do not have a thermostat.
