## Discrepancy

SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF, THE F/A REPORTED AN ELECTRICAL ODOR WITH NO VISIBLE SMOKE.  FLIGHT CREW SECURED POWER TO THE GALLEY IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE QRH.  ODOR SUBSIDED WITH GALLEY POWER OFF, UNTIL LANDING WHEN IT OCCURRED AGAIN.  MX INSPECTED THE GALLEY, COFFEEMAKERS, OVEN, APPLIANCE CONTROL PANELS, AND BEHIND CEILING PANELS.  NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND AND NO OBVIOUS SOURCE OF ODOR WAS IDENTIFIED.  A DUCT BURNOUT PROCEDURE WAS COMPLIED WITH AND THE ACFT HAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
