Hi, as far as this unit having a reset button on it, it would not. If this unit is a gas fired heater, it will have reset buttons on a couple of its safe controls such as the high limit switch, or roll out switch that sometimes will trip and will have to be reset. If the unit is not on in the cooling, you need to check to make sure the thermostat is calling and that there is voltage to both the indoor and outdoor units. Check the circuit breakers to see if maybe one has tripped. On the outdoor unit you will have a disconnect box mounted near the unit. It also will have 2 fuses inside of it. They may be hidden from view behind a panel cover, but you may have blown one. Your unit is a 3 1/2 ton system according to your model number in case you ever need to know. But yes, this is what you need to do if the unit stopped cooling, is to locate the breakers for both the indoor unit and outdoor unit to find if a breaker has tripped for some reason, such as it overloaded. If you do find one tripped, it will be in the midway position. Shut it off hard, and again back on hard to reset. Please keep me updated on what you have or have not found, so that I can walk you through getting it back on line.
Sincerely,
Shastalaker7
PS On the indoor unit, this model should have a 3 to 5 amp fuse on the main control board just behind one of its panels. It may have a inspection view hole you can see through to see if the led red light is on. If so, this will tell you if the indoor unit has power to it if the light is on.

    Hi, just to let you know, some of the older Ruud and Rheem units they made had a reset at the condenser unit, or outdoor unit. I don't believe they stayed with this reset on the newer model Ultra Series. Please keep me posted. Best of luck to you. I will be here if you need my help.
    Sincerely,

My RUDD central a/c keeps cutting off, the inside vents still have air coming out of them but not cold. When I go to check the outside unit it is either completely off or running but the top fan is not...

The switch that you are resetting is the manual reset high pressure switch. It is there for a reason, to tell you something is wrong. You having to start fan manually tells me that the fan run capictor is bad. Get the capictor changed. If you keep resetting the switch you could burn out the compressor, doesnt make any sense to burn up a 800.00 compressor for a 10.00 item. hope this helps.

Power failure unit went off of a rudd split unit

If he reset it on the outdoor unit, this could be a high
pressure switch located where the compressor is, which is attached to the refrigerant line.

Make sure your indoor unit operates by putting the fan to manual, if it operates your problem is not there.
Make sure your breakers have not tripped which should be located in an electrical panel in the house

Rudd Achiever series model RQNJ-AO42JK 000 mfg

Turn the thermostat as low as it will go and have someone stand out side, they should here the condensor fan and compressor come on at the same time. They are two distinctive sounds so you should
be able to tell if the compressor is running.

If nothing happens and you are skilled with electrical
you can turn power off and remove the electrical
cover to the outside unit. Restore power and carefully
push in the contactor, if the fan and compressor
starts you have a thermostat or low voltage problem.

If just the outdoor fan runs on any attempt, more than likely you need a new capacitor.

I have a Rudd ultra series 16.0 and I cant get the air to blow hot..I have heat on and "hold at 90" but it wont heat..ac is less than 1 yr old

I am curious if the unit is short cycling. If it is, take the face off of your thermostat and turn the anticipator to .4 and when you can have a tech take an amp draw on your furnace. If it is a new furnace and old thermostat, it may not have been checked with the new install
