Colman Furnace keeps kicking on & off

I have 1974 mobile home with a colman furnace model # 7995A656 and it kicks on and off at night and wont stay running. I have restarted it, cleaned and changed the filters, oiled the fan and motor. What is wrong with it. Is it going to be expensive to fix.

Denise, my heater not a coleman (a monitor heater (oil) kept turning off when the temp got really cold. I would advise you to ask if you can do this, I addded an additive to my drum outside which holds the fuel. Because the deisel thickens up when it gets cold, which makes the heater have a harder time distributing the fuel to the heater. So far the heater has not kicked off.

Question about efficiency of a colman electric furnace 3500A816. In a mobile home built in 1997.

Is this your main heating system for the mobile home? I hope these other solutions mentioned help but I would think you have to replace it since it is a 1997. Mobile homes get cold I wouldn't trust it if it does it again.
