On the MEC7636WS the usual complaints trace back to the surface element, infinite switch or terminal block, not to the sealed or drive system behind it. Where a part has been revised, the plate is the only reliable way to tell which version the machine takes.
An owner can reasonably handle inspecting the glass for chips and keeping controls dry. Past that the risk is electrical, and the manufacturer’s warranty terms are worth reading before anybody opens the cabinet.
