The Goodman 20162903 Primary Limit Switch (150°F) is a genuine OEM high-limit safety control for the Amana/Goodman AMS950704CXA gas furnace. This normally-closed thermal switch monitors heat-exchanger and plenum temperature, opening the circuit to shut off the burners if the furnace overheats due to restricted airflow, a dirty filter, or blower failure. It's a critical safety device that protects the heat exchanger and prevents dangerous overheating.

OEM vs. Generic

Trip temperature and mounting geometry must match the furnace exactly for safe operation. This genuine Goodman limit switch is factory-calibrated to 150°F and mounts correctly on the AMS950704CXA. Generic switches with the wrong setpoint or footprint can allow overheating or cause false trips and short cycling. For a safety component, always use the OEM part.

Installation Difficulty

Moderate (2/5). Shut off power and gas, disconnect the two wire terminals, remove the mounting screws, and install the new switch in the same location. Verify normal cycling after installation. If the furnace repeatedly trips on limit, address the underlying airflow issue.

Protect your AMS950704CXA furnace with the genuine Goodman 20162903 150°F primary limit switch.
