You have condenser issue. check at outside unit for 240 volts to contactor and 24 volts to contactor coil.

It sounds like the unit is tripping off from high pressure. Check you filter and indoor coil. You may have low air flow inside that is causing the refrigerant pressure to be to high.

SOURCE: Ruud Achiever 10 SEER outside fan doesn't come on; no cooling. I hear a buzzing sound (like a transformer) outside when A/C turned on inside.

The buzzing sounds like the fan trying to start. Try a new fan capacitor, or get a new fan

On a Rheem A/C the outside fan runs a few minutes then shuts off?

Question edited for clarity and spelling of 'capacitor'..
Question moved from Televisions to Rheem A/C.

When a start/run capacitor fails, the fan doesn't turn at all, it will just hum.

Try a full reset of the system. Disconnect the power at the breaker for at LEAST 2 hours, or preferably overnight. It resets the logic board and resets all the relays. If that doesn't work, you need an A/C Service Technician.

Ruud heat pump question

Does the air handler take a minute or two to start, this would be normal so that it doesn't blow cool air into the house before the unit is warmed up. If not could be the fan relay is weak and needs replacing. As far as the outside unit it sounds like you need to check the refrigerant. In cooling they are 70/150 psi. This should be checked in cooling mode, once you turn it to heating mode the pressures switch bring heat inside the house instead of out. I hope this helps.

1997 Amana 2 or 2.5 ton heat pump, 13 seer - air handler only blows 4-5 min

do you have a totaline t-stat. they and some other brands have a fan recirculation setting in the installers menu.

this is assuming that this happens in addition to the heating or cooling normally
