The MEC8830HS is a electric cooktop with a small number of well-known failure points, and the surface element, infinite switch or terminal block heads that list. Parts for this family are usually available, but they are matched by plate rather than by the base number.
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.
