## Discrepancy

(CAN) AIRCRAFT DIVERTED DUE TO SMOKE/BURNING ODOR IN FWD GALLEY.  FAULT WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE NR 2 COFFEEMAKER AND WAS REMOVED.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF COFFEEMAKER REVEALED A LOOSE TERMINAL NUT ON POWER MODULE ASSEMBLY.  THIS CAUSED THE TERMINAL TO HEAT UP AND IN TURN MELTED/BURNED INSULATION ON TERMINAL LUG.
