OEM Goodman 20162903 Primary Limit Switch (150°F)

The Goodman 20162903 is a genuine OEM primary high-limit switch rated to open at 150°F, designed for the AMVC80603BXBC two-stage variable-speed gas furnace. Mounted on the heat exchanger/plenum, this normally-closed thermal safety control shuts off the burners if supply-air temperature rises above the safe threshold — protecting the heat exchanger from overheating due to a stuck blower, blocked filter, or restricted ductwork. A furnace that short-cycles on heat or trips out often has a failed limit switch.

Specifications

Trip temperature: 150°F (opens on rise)
Type: Normally-closed bimetal limit / safety switch
Fits: Goodman & Amana AMVC80603BXBC furnaces
OEM Part Number: 20162903
Auto-reset thermal control

OEM vs. Generic

OEM limit switches are calibrated to the exact trip temperature specified for this furnace's heat exchanger. Generic switches with different set points can either nuisance-trip (no heat) or fail to protect the exchanger. For a safety-rated component, use the factory part.

Installation Difficulty

Easy to Moderate — two mounting screws and two spade terminals. Cut power at the disconnect before servicing. Verify the correct temperature rating before installing.
