## Discrepancy

CREW REPORTED AN ODOR FROM LAVATORY 101 THAT WAS STRONG AND SMELLED LIKE IODINE.   ACCOMPLISHED AN INSPECTION OF MIRROR LIGHTS, WATER HEATER, AND THE FLUSH CONTROL ASSY. NO EVIDENCE OF ELECTRICAL ODOR OR INDICATION OF OVERHEATING. ALSO INSPECTED UNDER THE LAVATORY SINK AND TOILET SHROUD, COULD NOT IDENTIFY ANY SOURCE OF ODOR. AFTER A FULL CLEANING OF THE AFFECTED LAVATORY, RESIDUAL ODOR DISIPATED.
