A passenger reported the crew announced that there was a problem in the area of the first emergency door at the right hand door explaining that there is a heating element behind the side wall to keep the area of the emergency exit comfortable. There was a possibility that the temperature controller of that heating element had failed causing the element to overheat. The captain felt it was safer to return to Newark than to continue with the Atlantic crossing with the door situation. Flight attendants subsequently checked the panel every 15 minutes until landing in Newark.
The flight was cancelled, the passengers were rebooked onto other flights.
