Well, I started up the new fan motor on the apple cooler and got an odd
odor from it.


Can you be any more specific about this "odd" odor? There could be
billions of things. Does it smell like burning insulation? Volatile
solvents? Paint? Mothballs? Skunk?

We need a little more to go by here.

Sorry, don't know how to describe. My guess is whatever they used to
dip the rotor for insulating in is outgasing. if the room weren't
sealed, i doubt it would be noticed.
