## Discrepancy

ON FLIGHT 3292 THE CREW REPORTED THAT ON DESCENT THROUGH 10,000 FEET WITH THE ANTI-ICE ON, A STRONG ODOR OF ELECTRICAL SMOKE WAS NOTICED IN THE COCKPIT.  THE ODOR DISSIPATED IN A FEW MINUTES.  AT SAME TIME THE  ANTI-ICE WENT OFF AND RECEIVED A WINDSHIELD 2 FAIL MESSAGE ON EICAS (CAUTION) APPEARED.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS REMOVED FROM SERVICE.  REMOVED AND REPLACED THE NR 2 WINDSHIELD HEAT CONTROLLER IAW AMM 30-42-01.  THE OPERATIONAL CHECK WAS GOOD.  NO ELECTRICAL SMOKE DETECTED.  OK FOR SERVICE.  (CONTROLLER CONFIRMED SOURCE OF ELECTRICAL ODOR).  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
