Smells like burnt semi-conductor but could be like burnt dust. We vacuumed out underneath and was vacuumed out 6 months ago. Dust doesn't seem to be an inordinate accumulation. Smell still seems to be continually emitted by fans enough to notice while walking by but not enough to choke on. Ten hours later (the following morning) the food in the freezer seems to be thawing. Any ideas?

Order it here, AP3083556. Take a picture of the wiring to it before removing wires. If totally burned up, tell us for additional info.
