SOURCE: Ruud Achiever 90 Plus wont start

4 blinks is "pressure switch closed" there are 2 in the system according to the wiring diagram one for the vent system  and one for the drain system ... I just wiggled them and heard one "click" the fault light quit blinking and when I pushed the safety switch back in the furnace fired right up.  That being said is there a good website for learning how to maintain your own furnace?  I'll call a pro if I have to, but shoot I can fix a jet engine... this shouldn't be much worse.
Thanks  dan

SOURCE: Ruud achiever 90 plus wouldn't start

Thanks for the carefull description of the fault, The vent system is designed so that if a leak occurs fresh air from the living space will be pulled into the vent rather than dangerous combustion gases pushed out to insure this there is a carefully calibrated -pressure switch that will not allow the unit to fire unless a negative pressure on the vent is proven this can be prevented by many things, here are a a few :a sticky micro switch, a leaking hose from the vent to the pressure sensor, cold stacking in the flu(either a down draft or extremely cold air in vent that restricts warm combustion air from being pushed out), a problem with the power exhaust fan(debris has gotten in the housing preventing an easy start), i usually find the cause to either be a bad pressure sensor hose or debris in ths exhaust fan housing either blocking blade movement or obstructing the pressure sensor hose port.
To clear the fault turn of the breaker to the unit then restart the unit and fallow the sequence of operation to see where the fault occurs the fan should come on first then the exhaust blower should come on when negative pressure is achieved it start the lighting sequence if the lighting sequence doesn't start and you get the same fault take the neg pressure hose loose from the exhaust fan housing and start the sequence again while pulling a slight negative pressure on the pressure sensor with a hand held pump continue this process until you find the fault.

SOURCE: ruud achiever 90 plus blower not working

does the furnace ignite?? your system may not have been lighting and has gone into ignition lockout count the codes of the led lights then remove panel led diagnostic codes are listed there.
if led codes indicate no problem verify capacitor is good and that mtr is getting 115 volts.

SOURCE: My Ruud Achiever 90 Plus not blowing cooled air

Look on the condensor, (outdoor unit) at the very bottom of the rear panel and you should find a red reset button. push it. If that does not solve the problem, and the outdoor unit is running (make sure both the fan AND the compressor are running) then you are looking at a low refridgerant issue and possibly dirty coils.

In that case, clean the coils and have refridgerant added.

SOURCE: i have a ruud 90 plus achiever gas horizontal

Sounds like it could be a dirty or bad flame sensor.
When the burner lights ,there is a flame sensor in the flame and it is suppose to sense the flame and send a signal back to the control board which will keep the gas valve open, if it gets dirty or is bad it doesn't send the signal back to the board and the board will shut the gas valve off and after three tries it will lock out the furnace and you have to reset it to get it to work again.
The flame sensor looks like a wire and it's in the flame usually it will get gas deposits on it, then it won't work.
You can clean this sensor with an extra fine piece of steel wool, but before you attempt to do this DISCONNECT ALL POWER TO THE FURNACE.

I have a ruud achiever 90 plus furnace. The blower motor comes on than I can hear the ingniter click one time and the unit shuts down, 1 green ligt comes on than the other gren light comes on than it...

Check the air filter, if its dirty it will short cycle. A clogged drain will also cause the same problem. There should be a printed legend attached to the inside of the unit or cover that gives you the meaning of all the flashing trouble codes. Perhaps yours may be missing?

Ruud achiever 90 plus gas furnace flame goes out after few seconds

This could be water in the hoses that connect to the pressure switch , they should just pull off and blow then out also blow out the pressure switch , this sound like a moisture problem with all the bad weather you h, check air filter is not blocked .

Neither of my Ruud Achiever Plus furnances are

First, put the t'stat fan switch into "Fan" position. If fan comes on, it verifys that you have voltage to the motor and you also have low voltage for the controls.
Look for the circuit board on the air handler as in most of the higher end units, they have tights that flash the gives you a trouble code. Table for the codes us usually located on the back side of the cover where the board is located.
Hope this helps.

Ruud achiever 90 plus furnace will not start with door on.

I would try to check your return air first, making sure there is no blockage and that your air filters are clean. It almost sounds like when you take the cover off, you are pulling enough air into the system for it to run, but as soon as you close it off, it's not getting enough air flow, therefore, tripping a limit switch inside the furnace. Most furnaces will also have the codes for the flashing lights and what they mean on the inside of the door covers.

Ruud achiever 90 plus gas furnace

The door, you mean the metal cover on the front? if you have the door off and push the safety switch in with your hand everything works fine? I need more info here, but if what I said is right, then the "door" isn't making good contact with the switch.
