MAINTENANCE PERFORMED VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE NR 1 COFFEEMAKER FINDING A SHORTED WIRE AND CIRCUIT BOARD DAMAGE.  REMOVED AND REPLACED THE NR 1 COFFEEMAKER AND PERFORMED OPERATIONAL CHECK, COFFEEMAKER CHECKED GOOD.  MAINTENANCE ALSO PERFORMED A GALLEY SHED AND POWER TRANSFER, THIS CHECK WAS ALSO GOOD.
