Goodman 20162903 Primary Limit Switch (150°F)

The Goodman 20162903 is a genuine OEM primary high-limit switch engineered for the AMH80805CXBA gas furnace and related Goodman/Amana 80% AFUE models. Mounted on the heat exchanger vestibule, this normally-closed switch opens at approximately 150°F to shut down the burners if the furnace overheats — protecting the heat exchanger, blower, and your home from unsafe temperatures. If your furnace is short-cycling on heat or the burners ignite then drop out, a failed limit switch is a common cause.

Function: Primary high-limit safety switch
Trip Point: 150°F (open on rise, auto-reset)

OEM vs. Generic

This is a factory OEM Goodman part built to the exact trip temperature and mounting footprint your furnace's control logic expects. Generic aftermarket limits often have looser tolerances and different bracket geometry, which can cause nuisance trips or improper seating against the heat exchanger. For a safety control, we recommend OEM.

Installation Difficulty

Easy (1 of 5). Two screws and two spade connectors. Always shut off power and gas before servicing. If you are unsure, contact a licensed HVAC technician.
