## Discrepancy

DURING CLIMB GOT ELECTRICAL ODOR THROUGHOUT CABIN AND COCKPIT NO EVIDENCE OF SMOKE IN AIRCRAFT AND ODOR EVENTUALLY DECREASED.  PERFORMED.  FOUND RECIRC FAN MOTOR SEIZING ON CABIN RECIRCULATION FAN.  REMOVED AND REPLACED SAME PER AMM.  ADJUSTED AND TEST CHECKED GOOD.  AIRCRAFT IS OKAY FOR SERVICE.
