The Goodman 20162903 Primary Limit Switch (150°F) is a genuine OEM high-limit safety control for the Amana/Goodman AMEH800805CXAB gas furnace. This normally-closed thermal switch continuously monitors heat-exchanger and plenum temperature; if the furnace overheats — from a dirty filter, blocked ductwork, or a failed blower — it opens the circuit and shuts down the gas valve to prevent equipment damage and fire.

Specifications

OEM Part Number: 20162903
Trip Temperature: 150°F (primary high limit)
Type: Normally-closed, auto-reset thermal limit
Function: Overheat safety shutoff
Compatibility: AMEH800805CXAB and related Goodman/Amana furnaces
Fit: Direct OEM replacement

OEM vs. Generic

The trip setpoint and mounting geometry are matched to this furnace's heat exchanger. The genuine OEM 20162903 guarantees the correct 150°F calibration and terminal orientation, while generic limits may trip early (nuisance shutdowns) or too late (unsafe). For a safety-rated control, OEM is strongly recommended.

Installation Difficulty

Easy to Moderate — DIY-friendly with basic tools. Cut power at the breaker, remove the two spade terminals, unscrew the mounting plate, and install the replacement in the same position. Takes 10–15 minutes. Always confirm proper airflow and a clean filter, since a repeat trip usually points to an airflow problem — not a bad switch.
