The MEC8836HS is a electric cooktop, and on this platform the separate switch and supply behind each element is what most service calls come back to. The plate also dates the machine, which matters when deciding whether a repair is worth doing.
Stick to inspecting the glass for chips and keeping controls dry and switch the appliance off at the breaker before looking at anything. Internal diagnosis needs meters and training.
