## Discrepancy

SMOKE CAME INTERMITTENTLY FROM THE SHAVER OUTLET IN LAV AT DOOR 2-L WHILE AT CRUISE.  THE CIRCUITS WERE DEACTIVATED AND THE SMOKE STOPPED WITHOUT FURTHER PROBLEM.  MAINTENANCE FOUND SOAP LEAKING FROM SPARE SOAP BOTTLE STORED ABOVE SHAVER OUTLET CAUSING A SHORT TO GROUND AT SHAVER OUTLET.  THE CANNON PLUG FOR SHAVER WAS DISCONNECTED AND THE SHAVER OUTLET WAS PLACED ON PLACARD.  THE OUTLET IS TO BE REPLACED.
