Narrative:
Approach control asked us to keep speed up (190 KTS) to approaching OM for runway 24L cle. At 3000 ft MSL assigned, cleared for approach. Tower cleared us to land, runway in sight. At flaps 5 degrees, speed 190 KTS, first officer flying called 'gear down,' flaps 15 degrees, speed, etc. On glide path for ILS, I noticed flaps did not go past 5 degrees, with leading edge devices at mid position, green lights. No split flap indication, circuit breakers in. Referred to QRH. Got speed for vref 40+30 KTS. I told first officer to continue and land. Speed was already at or near vref 40+30 KTS, and stabilized. First officer made a very good landing. After runway turn off and taxi in, flaps operated normally up and down. Put incident in aircraft logbook and called maintenance. Suspect possible bad flap indicator gauge, or some other component.

Title: B737 FLT CREW PERFORMS A PARTIAL FLAP LNDG WHEN FLAP INDICATORS SHOW THE FLAPS STOPPING AT 5 DEGS ON FINAL APCH TO RWY 24L AT CLE, OH.
Narrative: APCH CTL ASKED US TO KEEP SPD UP (190 KTS) TO APCHING OM FOR RWY 24L CLE. AT 3000 FT MSL ASSIGNED, CLRED FOR APCH. TWR CLRED US TO LAND, RWY IN SIGHT. AT FLAPS 5 DEGS, SPD 190 KTS, FO FLYING CALLED 'GEAR DOWN,' FLAPS 15 DEGS, SPD, ETC. ON GLIDE PATH FOR ILS, I NOTICED FLAPS DID NOT GO PAST 5 DEGS, WITH LEADING EDGE DEVICES AT MID POS, GREEN LIGHTS. NO SPLIT FLAP INDICATION, CIRCUIT BREAKERS IN. REFERRED TO QRH. GOT SPD FOR VREF 40+30 KTS. I TOLD FO TO CONTINUE AND LAND. SPD WAS ALREADY AT OR NEAR VREF 40+30 KTS, AND STABILIZED. FO MADE A VERY GOOD LNDG. AFTER RWY TURN OFF AND TAXI IN, FLAPS OPERATED NORMALLY UP AND DOWN. PUT INCIDENT IN ACFT LOGBOOK AND CALLED MAINT. SUSPECT POSSIBLE BAD FLAP INDICATOR GAUGE, OR SOME OTHER COMPONENT.
