The Goodman 20162903 Primary Limit Switch is a 150°F factory-original high-limit safety control for the Amana/Goodman AMEH800805DXAB gas furnace. This normally-closed switch monitors heat-exchanger and plenum temperature and opens the gas/burner circuit if the furnace overheats — typically from restricted airflow, a dirty filter, or blower failure — protecting the heat exchanger from cracking.

Specifications

Type: Primary high-limit switch, normally closed
Trip point: 150°F (opens on rise)
Reset: Automatic
Fit: AMEH800805DXAB and compatible Goodman/Amana furnaces
OEM part number: 20162903

OEM vs. Generic

OEM ensures the exact temperature calibration, terminal orientation, and mounting bracket this furnace requires. Generic limit switches with a different trip point or footprint can trip early, fail to protect the heat exchanger, or not seat correctly against the panel. Because this is a safety device, correct calibration matters.

Installation Difficulty

Easy — 1 of 5. Cut power at the disconnect, unplug the two spade terminals, remove the mounting screws, and install the replacement in the same orientation. No tools beyond a nut driver are needed. Verify furnace cycling after replacement.
