    The '95 uses a resistor(s)to control fan speed so the burning you smell likely is.
    Remove the microfilter and you should be able to get a vacuumm crevice tool in there. Removing the blower motor will get better access but way more work.

    This might help for the latter solution.

    That must have been aweful. And remarkably quick if you didnt notice it until you shoe was on fire. Have you managed to find the cause?
