Hose Doc has the right answer. No doubt.
I respectfully disagree nukedaddyHose Doc has the right answer. No doubt.
I would replace it... Something inside the tank may have caused this??? I wouldn't chance it.If the tank wasn’t leaking I would’ve repaired it, especially if it’s fairly new.

Piece if metal??? who knows? I wouldn't want to take a chance.What inside the tank would cause it ?

Couldn't something bad have happened where the element is attached? It shorted for a reason. Being under warranty and something broke, I would want one without any defects.Yeah, that’s not probable or likely. I’ve never even heard of it happening.
The only metal in the tank is the anode. Easy enough to look inside the element bung if it was a concern.

I'd still replace it...Maybe it was a power surge or lightning strike
Even if it wasn’t it, only takes a few minutes to repair a basic electric water heaters electrical if you have a test meter and know how to use it.

If it does the same thing, It would tell me there's another issue that needs attention...What if the new one does the same thing ?
I’d be called a thief if I replaced water heaters because an element blows......

I'm replacing it myself... No labor cost involved. Just some fun plumbing work.Exactly, that’s why you make sure there are no other issues before you start going through the labor and cost of total replacement.
