I've wasted many hours repairing Xerox Phaser printers. The possible points of failure are numerous, and from your description a few red flags come to mind. The incident with spilled toner is concerning, because it is possible to contaminate non-serviceable areas of the machine requiring almost a complete disassembly to repair. The mechanical problems can be difficult to effectively repair, and are not recommended for inexperienced technicians. Even assuming everything goes as planned, the reward for your efforts would be a 10+ year old printer with thousands of aging parts ripe for the next failure to occur...
Honestly, I would consider cutting your losses and discard the printer. I'm not sure which $440 HP printer you are considering, but I'll try to make a few recommendations for organizations like yours that require high volume color printing capabilities:
The HP LaserJet Pro 500 color MFP M570dn is a great business multi-function printer. It will handle printing, scanning, faxing, and copying. This printer features automatic on/off (with Instant-on), fast 31ppm color printing, Gigabit Ethernet, scan to e-Mail/Cloud/Flash Drive, and automatic high-speed duplex (2-sided) printing and scanning. It does not include built-in Wi-Fi - you would have to downgrade to a different model for that feature (you can still print to it over an existing wireless network, you just have to plug it into your router with an Ethernet cable).
The M570dn runs about $750 on Amazon with FREE shipping. Keep in mind that this price includes a complete set of full capacity toner cartridges which are good for about 6,000 pages. Each toner cartridge has an integrated drum, and waste toner receptacle. A full set of replacement cartridges will run you about $680 for HP-branded ink and are good for about 6,000 color pages at a total cost of about $0.12 cents per color page. Since the bundled set of cartridges is comparable to the cost of the printer itself, it's like buying your first set of toner up front and getting the printer free of charge.

Another option would be the Canon Color imageClass MF810Cdn. This printer will easily scale up with your organization to meet your current and future needs. The MF810Cdn costs less than $800 on Amazon with FREE shipping. This model has a many nice features like Apple Airprint, Mobile Device Printing, Secure Print, scanning OCR support, high-speed Gigabit Ethernet, and a huge 550-sheet paper tray standard. This printer is fast at 26ppm, and will support thicker paper up to 58lb. stock in both the multipurpose/manual feed trays and the paper cassette. It is also highly expandable, giving you the ability to add extra paper drawers and a wheeled base that attaches to the bottom of the printer (see brochure link below) giving you a total online paper capacity of up to 2,300 sheets - perfect for printing on many different paper types, letterheads, etc.
The MF810Cdn includes FULL MODE duplex operation (automatic double-sided print, copy, scan, fax), and has a 50-sheet ADF feeder. Scan to PC (Push from printer, or Pull from PC), Scan/Fax to Email, Scan/Fax to Network Folder, Scan/Fax to SMB, LDAP/Active Directory are all fully supported.
Canon's business color laser printers are well-engineered and very reliable. These machines represent the state of the art in business printers. The MF810Cdn uses an advanced air-pressurized toner system, which is a similar technology to their line of high end color copiers (the imageRunner series), ensuring fast and reliable performance for high-volume environments such as yours.
Toner, drums, and waste toner receptacles on this Canon printer are all separately replaceable, which gives you more flexibility with your consumables costs. Unlike cheaper color laser printers that use an integrated cartridge for each color (containing both toner and a disposable drum), with this Canon printer you will only replace what you need when you need it.
Consumables for color laser printers are typically more expensive than for black & white printers. This printer is different than most, in that the black toner is significantly lower priced, and comes in a higher-capacity package than the other colors. Canon toner will cost a total of about $820 for 7,300 pages, drums run about $250 each per 35,000 pages, and the waste bottle runs $25 per 30,000 pages. Black toner is sold in a higher yield package good for 12,000 pages at a lower cost than the other colors. (Your first set of consumables including all toners and drums are included in the box.) This all adds up to a total consumables cost of less than $0.14 cents per color page, and less than $0.02 cents per black & white page.

Here's the thing, A3 lasers are expensive. And on top of that, no printer will handle such temperature transitions well. Here is an older model HP CP5525, a solid unit commonly used by the clients of ours that need an A3 color printer. It's going to be pretty much the best possible choice, considering switching between heavy and infrequent use like you're describing. But cold is known to damage the organic material used in the cartridge drums, and the transfer belt. The good part is, units like these are pretty easy to move, and hold up to being boxed up and shipped well, so long as they have adequate packing. You might consider just bringing it somewhere else and storing it during the off time, to save yourself the replacement supply costs, or just resigning yourself to burning through cheap inkjets.
Best option is to get a black and white laser printer such as the Brother and then also get a cheap color inkjet for 50 bucks. Use the laser as your main printer and only print one page a week that has some color in it from the inkjet to prevent clogging. That way the inkjet doesn't waste ink being it will only be used for maybe 4 prints a month but still be there when you truly need it.
My personal favorite reasonably priced all in one B&W laser is this one
https://www.amazon.com/Brother-Monochrome-Multifunction-MFCL2710DW-Replenishment/dp/B0763ZCH7K
Then grab this cheap Canon inkjet for 40 bucks.

I had a similar use profile a while back and bought a little Brother monochrome machine. The Brother HL-2350DW is a slightly newer version of what I got, and it’s available for $100 on Amazon. It hits everything on your list except color and scanning, and it should last you many years of home use.
This is a similar machine that has a scanner, for $150: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0763ZCH7K/
The closest equivalent color multifunction will run you $350: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KGXQ6WL/
I recommend going with the lowest priced machine of these 3 that you think would suit your needs. Keep in mind, too, that color machines cost more to operate.
PS I don’t work for Brother; I just happen to think they have some of the best home machines out there.
The Brother HL-L2350DW printer seems to fit your needs. It is only $99.99 on Amazon, monochrome, wireless, duplex printing and it works with Google cloud print.
https://www.amazon.com/Brother-Monochrome-HL-L2350DW-Two-Sided-Replenishment/dp/B0763WDSYZ
The HP LaserJet Pro MFP M426fdn or fdw (the latter has wifi built-in) has similar print speed and an a 50 sheet feeder for the scanner/copier/fax. It does come with the IRIS (ocr software), you just have to make sure to do the full software installation.
It also does duplex scanning/copying in addition to duplex printing.
Toner cartridge isn't as high capacity, but you didn't give a budget or printing volume, so I don't know if this is an issue.
$299 at Amazon:

Due to the photos and images, you might wanna go for two printers(photo-ink is expensive).
One cheap B/W laser from Brother like this one, for the documents, where you can even use aftermarket toner without thinking too much about it.
Then you can have another printer for the photo/scanner stuff.
The $100 Brother laser printer is what you want. They will run for a long time: my parents have a (very) old Brother that is 10 years old and has printed 30,000 pages. We've done nothing other than replace consumables. Toner has been replaced 13 times total - so about 2,300 pages per cartridge. I buy aftermarket, so about $20-30 each. Damn thing won't die.
Laser printers are far better for text and other document type work - it's the technology that you'll find in basically every office printer. This Brother model has USB and wifi connectivity options. Wirecutter recommends it as their budget pick.
This is a little more than twice your price but just wanted to throw it is for consideration.
HP M426fdn - Mono multifunction - up to 40 pages per minutes - single pass duplex document 50 pages document feeder (my fav), print to an e-mail, and more.
$215.61 right now on Amazon.

Hey thanks for the super informative reply. The MX922 I have no is working but its just BARELY working. It gets caught often and I have to manually pull the rest of the media out and that isn't really something I enjoy. It's also slow as far as ppm goes so that is sort of a bummer.

This is the specific printer I was looking at and it appears it IS rated to a higher standard of gsm weight? not sure.
