## Discrepancy

ENROUTE, FLIGHT DIVERTED, DUE TO A PERSISTENT HOT PLASTIC BURNING ODOR IN THE FORWARD GALLEY  BETWEEN MAIN DOOR AND FORWARD LAVATORY.  THERE WAS NO VISUAL CONFIRMATION OF SMOKE.  MAINTENANCE FOUND THE COALESCER BAGS SATURATED AND DIRTY, REMOVED AND REPLACED THEM.  LEAK AND OPS CHECK WAS GOOD. NO FURTHER BURNING ODOR WAS NOTED.  AIRCRAFT OK FOR SERVICE.
