## Discrepancy

AFTER DEPARTURE IN CLIMB, NOTICED STRONG ODOR LIKE ELECTRICAL WIRES HEATING UP, AFT CABIN F/A ALSO DETECTED SAME THING, F/A SAYS IT WAS VERY STRONG ELECTRICAL ODOR.  AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO MSP LANDING UNEVENTFULLY, PASSENGERS THROUGHOUT CABIN DETECTED SIMILAR ODOR.  REPLACED SEALS AND GROUND STRAP ADJACENT TO NR 1 PACK FLOW CONTROL VALVE.  REPLACED NR 1 PACK FLOW CONTROL VALVE.  REPLACED SLEEVE, ELBOW AND SEALS ADJACENT TO HEAT EXCHANGER.  REPLACED L/R OZONE CONVERTERS.  REPLACED RECIRCULATION FILTERS.  CHECKS OK.
