## Discrepancy

THE AIRCRAFT WAS NOT GROUNDED.  3L LAV HAD A VERY STRONG ELECTRICAL SMELL, NO SMOKE OR HEAT.  TURNED OFF WATER HEAT.  SO STRONG THE ODOR, WE MOVED PASSENGERS.  INSPECTED LAV 3F-1L.  CEILING AND MIRROR LIGHTS CKS OK.  REMOVED AND REPLACED LAV WATER HEATER PER AMM38-13-01 AND IPC 38-13-01-52J.  OPS CKS OK.  LEAK CKS OK.  NO ODOR NOTED.
