With time and heat cycles the rubber supports appear to deteriorate and stick to the plate and cause problems as the ceramic heater heats and cools. Secondly and probably a more contributory factor is the “Tri Zone Technology”.

Over many cycles this is likely to stress the ceramic and eventually cause it to crack.
