How many uf is indicated on the capacitor.It will show a number ie 10uf. If the rating on the capacitor is more than 5uf or less than 3 uf then the capacitor is failing. 10% variance is acceptable. Most electrical wholesalers sell capacitors and cost is around $20.00 or so.

My Ruud Achiever 90 Plus MDL: UGRA-09EZAJS is 17 years old. Runs fine but wonder if I should replace the blower motor and go to a variable speed motor

The variable speed DC motors you describe do use less power but cost 14 times more too, not worth it especially with you motor running!

I have a ruud silhouette gas furnace and I have change everything out and it still won't stay on.

From the description I see try the following.
Take your induction fan blower off and check the condition of the blower wheel. If your induction fan is not pulling flue gas out properly, the flue gas will cause a rollout flame shutdown. Older units induction fan blower wheel rust out and will fall apart and eventually self destruct.
Hope this helped.

I'm considering installing a Goodman LP Gas Furnace:sizing? Ops?

Gerge, if you go to website www.energycodes.gov
you can do a heat load calc yourself. Basically, you figure out the sizes of walls, total area of glass. total doors to outside, ceiling area and types of building materials used. It is pretty easy and then you will know for sure. The contractor should be suppling you with one but if not use this, it is free!

I have a Ruud 90% furnace (18 yrs.old) Several days ago, I had a complete ice-over of the evaporator coil. Filters are clean, and airflow unrestricted. After defrosting coil (48 hrs.) while testing, I note...

The motor shutting off after 30-45 seconds means it is probably getting hot and shutting off on thermo overload safety in motor. Two things can cause this: #1 is the motor is defective. #2 the run capacitor has gone bad. If you want to try and save money replace the run capacitor 1st and try it. If that doesn't work replace the motor. You would replace the run capacitor at same time anyway.

When my furnace goes to start the blower motor whines or sounds like it is having a hard time starting up? If you turn the blower wheel it seems to turn freely? Could it need a motor or a run capacitor?...

Motor is getting old. The start side of the motor is getting weak. I would replace the motor and when you do the capacitor is a good idea to change also. ken
