## Discrepancy

DURING CRUISE SMOKE/ELECTRICAL ODORS FILLED MID CABIN. FLT DIVERTED INTO LNK ENROUTE TO DEN. FOUND MID GALLEY COFFEE MAKER TO BE SOURCE OF SMOKE. THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE HEATER COIL TO THE HOT PLATE FAILED ALLOWING THE COIL TO DROP INTO THE DRIP PAN. THE PLASTIC PEICE FROM THE BROKEN BRACKET CLOGGED THE DRIP PAN DRAIN WHICH FILLED WITH COFFEE RESIDUE AND STARTED TO BURN OFF WHEN THE COFFEE MAKER WAS USED. REMOVED COFFEE MAKER AND COLLARED C/B IN GALLEY. A/C WAS RTS 2045C/23.
