Either it was connected the wrong way round or it had too low a ripple current rating. If the wrong way round it normally does a confetti shower, overcurrent it normally will run hot then split the vent open. New one use a 63V low ESR unit, it will be bigger. A higher value will also work, anything from 470uF to 1000uF will work there as well, just needs to be low ESR and it will survive.
