Goodman 20162903 Primary Limit Switch (150°F)

The Goodman 20162903 is a genuine OEM primary high-temperature limit switch built for the Amana/Goodman AMEC800603BNAA furnace and compatible models. Mounted on the heat-exchanger bulkhead, this 150°F thermal safety switch monitors supply-air temperature and cuts power to the gas valve if the furnace overheats — protecting the heat exchanger and your home. A failed limit switch is a common cause of short-cycling, no-heat lockouts, and blower-only operation.

Type: Primary high-limit safety switch
Trip Setpoint: 150°F
Action: Opens on temperature rise (auto-reset)

OEM vs. Generic

The OEM 20162903 arrives with the exact trip temperature, mounting flange, and terminal orientation for a true bolt-in fit. Generic snap-disc limits often have different setpoints or bracket geometry, forcing rework and risking nuisance trips or missed protection. For a safety device, choose OEM.

Installation Difficulty

Easy (2/5) — Two mounting screws and two spade connectors. Requires power off at the disconnect. Estimated time: 20–30 minutes. Professional installation recommended.
