## Discrepancy

SHIP 3241 FUMES NOTICED IN THE COCKPIT & CABIN DURING CRUISE. FO & FA CONFIRMED THAT THEY ALSO SMELLED STRANGE FUMES. FUMES DISSIPATED FOR A BRIEF PERIOD IN THE COCKPIT. REMAINED IN THE CABIN AND THEN CAME BACK IN THE COCKPIT AT THAT POINT WE DECLARED AN EMERGENCY & DIVERTED TO KCHS. CORRECTIVE ACTION: AVIONICS FAN MOTOR BAD. R&R AVIONICS BLOWER FAN IAW A320 AMM 21-26. OPS CK GOOD. NO FUMES (7588884)
