Welcome to the forums.

Thread moved to the gas furnace forum.

As far as I can tell..... that furnace has a pilot light. So that means it doesn't have a typical flame sensor. It has a thermocouple to keep the pilot lit.

You need to tell us what the problem is.
Some pictures of your unit..... burner area would be helpful..... How-to-insert-pictures

Sorry this is the first time I had ever even looked at a gas furnace, I’m VERY inexperienced. so it started out with the fan not blowing at all. I got inside, cleaned it all out, and even tried to reset it to see if that was the problem. After cleaning it I found the fan kicks on for a second, but it won’t last any longer than I’d say about 3-5 mins without kicking the whole furnace back off again. I read something saying normally this is the flame sensor that just needed to be cleaned, because apperantly nobody has cleaned the furnace in years according to my dad who used to live in the same mobile home.

I would suggest that "for your safety" you have a professional heating company take a look at this furnace. According to your description of the furnace's operation the fan switch and/or blower may need replaced. Has this mobile home been lived in all the time or has it sat vacant for a period of time. In your last post you said that it turns on and starts heating , but turn off after 3-5 minutes. Does the blower fan come on and blow heat during the time it is running? Do you have any idea as to the age of this furnace?

Yes it heats for the few minutes it stays on. But the fan is pretty loud once it gets going.It has always been lived in, but from the looks of it after I cleaned it, nobody had cleaned it prior to me for a long time.

So at the current time..... we don't know if the blower is failing or the burner is shutting down from high heat or both.
