## Discrepancy

FLIGHT CREW SMELLED ELECTRICAL INSULATION BURNING IN THE COCKPIT.  WE NOTICED THE GASPER FAN CIRCUIT BREAKER OPENED.  A FEW MINUTES LATER THE SMELL SUBSIDED.  GASPER FAN CIRCUIT BREAKER WAS LEFT OPEN AND GASPER FAN SWITCH TURNED OFF.  A/C RELEASED FOR SERVICE PER MEL 21-24 CAT D EXP 10-16-96.  REMOVED AND REPLACED GASPER FAN AS PER MM 21-33-11, ALL CKS GOOD.
