So lots of people will do this while the tank is full, but if you are changing elements, might as well flush the tank at the same time, or at least ask the customer when the last time it was flushed. Makes it less hectic, and helps the heater last longer

Yes, it warped because it dry fired in the sediment build up as shown on the white scale on the element. If you took the time to drain the tank the next one will ladt longer. Schlock job.

I fixed my dads water heater after it flooded his back room twice. He was quoted $1100 in 2019(likely over $1500 in this area now) for the hot water heater permitted and installed, he's old and they just told him it was done for no specific diagnosis. I figured out the heater and original bottom heating element were about 8 years old and scale had built up from the bottom of the water heater then on the heating element like it was coral growing in a reef. The scale was so thick I had to remove some while the element was still in the tank. I cleaned out the bottom of the tank through the hole where the element was and replaced the element for $30 (so 2 hours and $30) it's been years now and it's still working fine. Finding the element took some doing... none of the model numbers on the water heater lead me to any part numbers. After measuring the threading on the element I was able to find a replacement. I turned down the temp on the heater to just above 120° and let vinegar soak inside the tank every once in awhile now. If maintained appliances can last for decades, with some exceptions obviously.

Unless the Hot water tank is in the garage, I wouldn’t recommend not draining the tank all the way down on a bottom element change. On an upper element you only need to drain the tank down past where the upper element is located. Remember to open your popoff valve when you refill the tank with water so it fills back up a least past both elements,otherwise you’ll be buying new elements again. With the popoff opening once water starts to come out , you’ll know the tank is full of water again.

How about draining the tank and taking the time to do it RIGHT

I just learned that you can change an element without draining. After 57 years years still learning something new every day.

Guess them pans can come in handy. Thnx for the vid

Never replace the lower element without cleaning out the sediment, unless you’re desperate to get it back on in a giant hurry, or you’re just buying a little time before replacing the tank, or the customer is just too broke to have you clean it out. The sediment is the cause of the element overheating, bending out of shape, and burning out. The new element will fail much sooner, and your customer needs to know that. There are tools for that, but I’ve known several people who have made their own. Just be careful not to damage the lining of the tank, or it will rust out sooner and leak. Probably a good idea to consider a new anode, too.

I replaced my tank by myself. First time. I didn’t do my rechearch.
So I wired the tank and put the power on BEFORE filling it up with water.
Big mistake.

That's plumbing in general. It can never go as smoothly as you're thinking in your head before doing the job.

Good job! Dont listen to all these clowns saying drain the tank blah blah blah, I recently also had to wrestle one out, it's the ones that are u shaped, they will spread out a little and catch

That makes sense 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Why do I keep getting water heater videos this is the second one in a row tf is YouTube trying to tell me 😂

Test for dead next time. The coroners report one day will state that “this poor guy thought he isolated the right breaker” or “somebody did a hack wiring job and the element was still live”

Hate seeing this video. A tech that AO Smith sent out did it this way and drenched the insulation around the tank and set it up to rust out in the future. AO Smith ended up having to replace it as a result.

I have had that happen and I pride myself in losing as little water as possible
|
Why is the old element 3 ft long and the one you're putting in only 12 in it's setting and all that sediment in the bottom That's why it's burning itself out

What about the lime/calcium in the bottom of the tank?

It's worth it to drain it completely so you can flush and clean the tank from sediment 👍

If the element overheated, probably buried in sediment, your quick change has done the customer no favors.
