Fluke 189 with leaking surface mount supercap (also Fluke 287, Fluke 289)
stuartk:
I cracked the case on my 289 purchased in 2007 and found the leaking capacitor. It was giving me intermittent loss of timekeeping.
I sent it off to Fluke Canada. Apparently they have a lifetime warranty up here in the frozen north.
They have replaced the cap, changed my scuffed up battery cover, changed the batteries and re-calibrated it, with a certificate and documentation.
All for free. :)
Kudos to Fluke Canada and thank you.

Excavatoree:
Has anyone found the Fluke part number for this capacitor? When one has a meter repaired under warranty, is this information given? I'd expect not, but since these aren't available in the US in quantities less than 2000, I was considering ordering from Fluke. However, Fluke will do no parts research - one has to know the part number.
stuartk:
No they didn't. They only said replaced capacitor C145...

Search back a few pages, I replaced mine with a $2 part from Digikey.

I saw that. It looks like that's the only alternative for a non-warranty unit.
My 189 has the larger capacitor pictured earlier in this thread. It seems to be OK, but I didn't unsolder it to look underneath.
