H Gas heat on
What the display is showing
Capital H on the display means a gas heating call is running. On the 802P two-stage control H is the high-fire heat stage; on the R95P it is the general gas-heat indicator. On RGPE/RGLE the troubleshooting chart expects a steady H during a heat call at high fire (a flashing H points to a dip-switch check). While a lockout is active the fault code replaces it.
Applies to: Rheem/Ruud (-)802P / 80MDP 80% two-stage furnaces; R95P; Rheem/Ruud RGPE / RGLE modulating furnaces
