## Discrepancy

IAH - FLT NR 2797 - AFTER TAKEOFF, LANDING GEAR WOULD NOT RETRACT, FOUND CONTROL CIRCUIT BREAKER OUT.  CREW COULD NOT RESET CIRCUIT BREAKER, A/C RETURNED TO IAH WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED LANDING GEAR CONTROL LEVER, PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED, DESCREPANCY WAS DEFFERED PER COEX MEL MANUAL.  ON 3-17-96 MAINTENANCE TROUBLE SHOT LANDING GEAR CONTROL SYSTEM AND FOUND A WIRE TO BE CHAFED ADJACENT TO LANDING GEAR CONTROL VALVE.  WIRE HARNESS WAS REPAIRED AND OPERATIONAL TESTS WERE PERFORMED, AIRCRAFT WAS RELEASED FOR A TEST FLIGHT AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE, ALL CHECKS WERE SATISFACTORY.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS APPROVED FOR RETURN TO SERVICE.  (M)
