## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS GROUNDED: FLIGHT ATTENDANT REPORTED THE FORWARD GALLEY HAD A SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC AND BELIEVED IT IS POSSIBLY ASSOCIATED WITH FORWARD GALLEY OVEN USE BECAUSE THE SMELL DISSIPATED WHEN OVENS WERE TURNED OFF. THE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS ALSO REPORTED THAT THE GALLEY WAS WARMER THAN NORMAL AND THAT IT MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE TEMPERATURE AND LIGHTING CONTROL PANEL BEING INOPERATIVE WHICH THE LIGHTS FULL BRIGHT. THE GALLEY COOLED AND SMELL DISSIPATED AFTER OVENS WERE TURNED OFF.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED POSITION 2 OVEN PER AMM 25-35-19 AND REPLACED BURNT FOOD TRAYS FOR POSITION 1 OVEN.
