Frequently Asked Questions
Do you still repair the discontinued Fluke 187 and 189?
Yes. Both are discontinued and no longer supported by the manufacturer, but we repair and recalibrate them regularly. Component-level repair keeps these well-loved meters in service.
How much does Fluke 187 / 189 repair cost?
Repairs start with a flat evaluation fee that’s credited toward your repair cost. After we diagnose the unit, you get a firm quote before any work begins — no surprises.
How long does the repair take?
Most Fluke 180 Series repairs are finished within 5–10 business days of arrival, with expedited turnaround available if you need it back fast.
Is it worth repairing a 187 or 189 instead of buying a 289?
Often, yes. Many users prefer the 187/189 they trust, and a repair with recalibration usually costs less than a new 289. We give you a firm quote up front so you can compare before deciding.
Can you fix a fading display or worn rotary switch?
Yes. Fading LCDs, missing segments, and worn or intermittent rotary switches are the two most common 180 Series repairs, both fully restorable.
Just need calibration, not a repair?
We do both. If your 187 or 189 works but is due for recalibration, we provide NIST-traceable calibration with a documented certificate against the manufacturer’s published specifications.
What if my model isn’t listed?
We service every 180 Series configuration. If your model isn’t in the table, pick the closest match or email us — the process is the same.
Who uses the Fluke 180 Series?
Industrial electricians, calibration and lab technicians, maintenance engineers, and field service professionals rely on the 187 and 189 for true-RMS logging measurements.
