Any ideas on what the problend could be? Already cleaned the heat sensor and that didn't work.

If it's a gas heater, probably a safety sensor for incomplete combustion. May have a crack in your heater.

Thank you. Just moved into the house so home warranty will cover it.

Had the same issue a while back and it was a pressure switch. It has a rubber hose running from the switch to the fan motor and if there is any kind of obstruction like dust or fuzz it wouldn't allow the burner to kick on. Pull the hose off blow through it and take something small and stick through the hole going to the fan motor to clear any obstruction. Mine is a gas unit though and be sure to flip the breaker first before you do any work.
