## Discrepancy

FA REPORTS AFT GALLEY OVERHEAD WORK LIGHT IS OVERHEATING AND CAUSING A HOT/ELECTRICAL SMELL. FA REPORTS SMELL EVEN WITH LIGHT, COFFEE MAKER, AND OVENS OFF. GROUNDED - YES. RE-LAMPED THE AFT GALLEY ATTENDANT WORKING LIGHT AND REPLACED THE LENS COVER IAW AMM 33-26-01. OPS CHECK GOOD. THIS CLEARS MEL 33-2B. PLACARDS REMOVED. SEAMC CARL NOTIFIED.
