MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT AND DETERMINED THE SOURCE OF THE ODOR WAS THE PLUG TO THE COFFEE WARMER IN THE GALLEY.  THE ITEM WAS DEFERRED PER MEL ITEM 25-10.  A/C RETURNED TO SERVICE.  REPLACED ELECTRICAL RECEPTICAL AND COFFEE JUG AS PRECAUTIONARY.  PERFORMED OPERATIONAL CHECK SATISFACTORILY AND RETURNED A/C TO SERVICE.  (M)
