## Discrepancy

WEAK ELECTRICAL SMELL IN THE MID GALLEY AREA.  ODOR DISAPPEARED WHEN RT RECIRCULATION FAN SWITCHED OFF.  *S/D*  THE RECIRCULATION FANS AND GALLEY AREAS WERE CHECKED FOR POSSIBLE SOURCES OF THE SMELL.  NO DISCREPANCIES WERE FOUND.  HOWEVER, A PIECE OF PLASTIC WAS FOUND IN THE INLET IN THE AFT GALLEY OVEN.  SINCE PLASTIC WAS REMOVED, NO ADDITIONAL WRITE-UPS FOR THE ODOR HAVE OCCURRED.
