## Discrepancy

SEA - FLIGHT ATTENDANT REPORTS THAT THE EMERGENCY DOOR HANDLE FOR THE GALLEY EMERGENCY EXIT IS STUCK.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED AND FOUND THE FORWARD TENSION CABLE BROKEN. THE DOOR WAS REMOVED, CABLE WAS REPLACED, THE DOOR WAS REINSTALLED.  OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE GOOD AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
