## Discrepancy

CREW REPORTED AN ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL COMING FROM ROW 4 DURING FLIGHT.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT AT ITS INTENDED DESTINATION, KPHL.

CMH MAINTENANCE CLEARED THE DEFERRAL DURING OVERNIGHT MAINTENANCE BY CHANGING THE LIGHT SOCKET ASSEMBLY AT ROW 4.  OPERATIONAL CHECKS OF THE LIGHT WERE GOOD WITH NO FURTHER DEFECTS NOTED.
