The genuine Goodman B1497204 Fusible Link is a one-time thermal safety fuse rated at 144°C (291°F), used in Goodman GDE100-5 furnaces to protect against dangerous overheating. If internal temperatures exceed the trip point — typically due to a blocked filter, failed blower, or restricted airflow — the link melts and opens the circuit, shutting the furnace down before heat damage or a fire hazard can occur.

Specifications

OEM Part Number: B1497204
Trip Temperature: 144°C (291°F)
Part Type: One-time fusible link / thermal cutoff
Brand: Goodman (genuine OEM)
Fits Model: GDE100-5 furnace

OEM vs. Generic

Safety-critical components should never be substituted with an off-spec part. This genuine Goodman OEM link is calibrated to the exact 144°C rating engineered for the GDE100-5. A generic link with the wrong trip point can nuisance-trip or, worse, fail to protect the equipment.

Installation Difficulty

Easy (1 of 5). De-energize the furnace, locate the tripped link in the blower/limit circuit, disconnect and swap in the new one. Important: always diagnose and correct the root cause (dirty filter, airflow restriction, blower failure) before restoring power, or the new link will trip again.
