## Discrepancy

A STRONG ODOR OF ELECTRICAL SMOKE WAS NOTICED IN THE CABIN WHILE EN ROUTE FROM LAX TO EWR.  THE ELECTRICAL AND AIR CONDITIONING SMOKE AND FIRE CHECKLISTS WERE RUN AND THE SOURCE COULD NOT BE IDENTIFIED.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS DIVERTED TO CLE WHERE IT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE FOUND THE FORWARD EQUIPMENT COOLING SUPPLY FAN NR 1 CIRCUIT BREAKER POPPED.  THE COOLING FAN WAS FOUND INTERNALLY FAILED.  THE FAN C/P WAS DISCONNECTED AND STOWE AND THE FAN WAS PLACARD INOPERATIVE DUE TO PART NOT BEING IN STOCK.
