The Goodman 20162903 Primary Limit Switch is a genuine OEM high-temperature safety control for the Amana/Goodman AMEH800805DNAB gas furnace. Rated for a 150°F cutout, this normally-closed switch monitors heat-exchanger and plenum temperatures and shuts down the burners if the furnace overheats due to restricted airflow, a failed blower, or a dirty filter. It is a critical safety device — a tripped or failed limit is a common cause of a furnace that heats briefly then shuts off.
This OEM limit switch is calibrated to the exact 150°F trip point specified for this furnace. Generic switches with different temperature ratings or mounting patterns can nuisance-trip or, worse, fail to protect the heat exchanger. Matching the factory cutout temperature is essential for safe operation.
Rating: Easy to Moderate. The switch mounts with two screws and connects via spade terminals. Always disconnect power before servicing. If the original switch failed, diagnose the underlying airflow issue to prevent repeat tripping.
