    under-specced components that routinely failed when I last looked into induction.

    Whether mine is an outlyer and this is survivorship bias, but my Frigidaire range from 2007 (2 induction + 2 electric thermal) from 2007 is still going strong with zero failures or repairs.

      I think it’s the ones with the capability for “overdrive” were the worst; people used them (as one does) and they simply failed a heat death. Yours may have survived because you’ve got the hybrid, or because it was early before they engineered in the cost savings… If the bean counters let them use then correct components, they’d work well.
