Smoke coming from furnace

We have an intertherm ultraflex electric furnace in our mobile home, when we put the safety switch in and cut the furnace on, it heats up and smoke comes out. What could be causing this and how can we fix it?

You may have something (paper,dust, etc.) on the electric coils. There may also be a short in the element.

Intertherm gas furnace in mobile home..igniter comes on then nothing tries to fire byrners but nothing

by igniter I assume you mean the thermocoupler. are you turning the control button to run after you light the pilot light? Normally when those furnaces quit it is the thermocoupler that has quit. Get a new one and leave it in the furnace compartment as a spare.

Intertherm furnace burner comes on, but blower does not. If I turn thermostat off then back on until it clicks the fan will then come on. It does not do this all of the time, just now and then.

Furnace burner and heat element are not the same. I think the fan time delay, a sensor that turns the fan on when this sensor senses heat, is shot and needs replacing, for a furnace type heat ( gas heat)

I have a intertherm furnace and need to know how to tell the proper filter size this is a mobile home

The best thing to do is buy a washable horsehair filter from home depot and cut it to fit. They are green in color and you cut any size you want. They slide in the door of a gas furnace or along each side of the A coil in an electric furnace. That is your best bet. Most of the time the furnaces comes witha washable filter and it is thrown away after afeew times. Rus

Sometimes the furnace doesn't come on when it should

OK so its an all electric furnace no gas? I cant think of anything clicking on an electric furnace except the sequencers or the safety switches.

If this is whats your hearing then the fan should definitely be running.

Feel carefully around the fan motor (I assume this is in a mobile home). See if you detect any heat coming around the blower area close to the fan motor. If so the fan motor may be at fault or one sequencer may be out (the main one of course...) the thing is can you get the fan to come on by turning the auto switch on the thermostat (or if older model the Auto On switch on the furnace) to ON? If so you can "limp by and have heat til someone either checks it or you can go on deeper into it. but to go deeper you'll have to let me know you know where the elements are and that you have a volt meter. and feel comfortable using it especially on HOT wires.

Intertherm ultraflex mobile home furnace

Is this a 120v motor, or 220v? If you checked for power, I assume you kind of know your way around a meter. When checking for power, don't check to ground, check the line. You could have power going in, but unless its going back out, completing the circuit, or missing a leg, in 220v case, it still will not work. Also, most heaters have some sort of delay, so after you hook it back up, and the burner heats up wait a few minutes for the fan to come on.
