Rheem / Ruud R951T Furnace Codes
The (-) in the model number stands for the brand prefix. Two-stage and modulating 90%+ furnaces (R96V, R97V) use longer code lists; see their own charts where we have them.
| Code | Meaning | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | 1 hour lockout. | How to fix → |
| 11 | Failed ignition. | How to fix → |
| 12 | Low flame sense. | How to fix → |
| 13 | Flame lost. | How to fix → |
| 14 | Unexpected flame. | Gas valve leaking through or a shorted flame sense circuit. How to fix → |
| 20 | Twinning fault. | |
| 22 | Main limit open. | How to fix → |
| 26 | Line and neutral reversed. | Swap line and neutral. |
| 33 | MRLC (manual reset limit control, also called rollout) open. | How to fix → |
| 55 | Pressure switch stuck closed when it should be open. | How to fix → |
| 57 | Pressure switch stuck open when it should be closed. | How to fix → |
| 58 | Water sense circuit open. | The condensate (blocked drain) sensor circuit is open. Check the sensor wiring and connections. |
| 59 | Water sensed. | Condensate is backing up. Check the drain trap, drain line and hoses for blockage, and that the furnace is level or tilted as the manual requires. |
| 61 | Blower fault: blower unable to run. | |
| 93 | Internal control fault. |
How to read the codes
- 0 means standby with no faults. Letters show the current call: C cooling or heat-pump heat, H gas heat, F continuous fan.
- Two-digit codes show the first digit for one second, then the second for one second, then a half-second pause. Each fault shows at least twice, even if it has already cleared.
- Two faults alternate, with the top segment of the display lit for half a second between them.
Codes point to a circuit, not a part. Test before replacing anything, and never jumper a limit, rollout or pressure switch to keep a furnace running. Gas and line-voltage work is for trained technicians.

The "meaning" column follows the manufacturer's wording; "what to check" is our field summary. Always go by the label on the furnace you're working on.
