The Goodman B1497204 Fusible Link is a genuine OEM 144°C (291°F) one-time thermal safety fuse for the Goodman GUP040-2 gas furnace. Wired in series with the control circuit, it permanently opens if the blower compartment or wiring reaches an unsafe temperature — for example after a blower or motor failure — cutting power to prevent overheating. Because it is a sacrificial, non-resetting device, a blown link means no heat until it is replaced, and it usually points to an underlying overheat condition worth investigating.

Specifications

Part Number: B1497204
Rating: 144°C (approx. 291°F) thermal cutoff
Type: One-time, non-resettable fusible link
Function: Overtemperature safety interruption
Fits: Goodman/Amana GUP040-2 furnace

OEM vs. Generic

The OEM B1497204 opens at exactly 144°C, the temperature Goodman engineered for this cabinet. Generic links rated at a different temperature either nuisance-trip on normal cycles or, worse, fail to open when they should — defeating a safety function. For a safety device we strongly recommend the genuine OEM link.

Installation Difficulty: Easy

Inexpensive, quick repair: disconnect power, unplug the two terminals, and clip the link into place. About 10 minutes. Important: if the link blew, diagnose and correct the cause of the overheat (failed blower, restricted airflow, or bad motor) before returning the furnace to service.
