The Goodman 20162903 is a genuine OEM primary high-limit switch rated at 150°F for AMS80805CXAA gas furnaces and related Goodman/Amana models. Mounted on the heat-exchanger/blower bulkhead, this auto-reset thermal control watches supply-air temperature. If airflow is lost or the plenum overheats past its setpoint, it opens the control circuit to cut the burners and protect the heat exchanger, then closes again automatically once temperatures return to normal.

Specifications

Part Number: 20162903 (OEM Goodman)
Type: Primary high-limit switch
Set Point: 150°F trip temperature
Contacts: Normally closed, automatic reset
Function: Over-temperature / airflow-loss safety
Fits: AMS80805CXAA and compatible Goodman/Amana furnaces

OEM vs. Generic

The genuine OEM 20162903 carries Goodman's exact 150°F calibration, disc size, and bracket footprint, so it trips at the correct temperature and mounts without modification. Generic limits with a different setpoint can cause short cycling or fail to protect the furnace. For a safety-critical control, the OEM part is recommended.

Installation

Difficulty: Easy. Disconnect power, unplug the two terminals, remove the two mounting screws, and fit the new switch in the same orientation — roughly 15–25 minutes. If the furnace was tripping on limit, correct the airflow issue (dirty filter, closed registers, weak blower) before restarting.
