The Goodman B1370188 is a genuine OEM primary high-limit switch rated at 170°F, designed for the AMS80704BXA gas furnace and compatible Goodman and Amana models. Positioned in the heat exchanger air stream, this auto-reset switch is the furnace's main overheat safety: it shuts off the gas burners if supply-air temperature climbs too high, protecting the heat exchanger from cracking and preventing dangerous overheating during low-airflow conditions.
OEM vs. Generic: The genuine B1370188 is factory-calibrated to the exact 170°F setpoint and insertion depth this furnace requires. A generic switch with the wrong trip temperature or probe length can allow the heat exchanger to overheat or cause repeated nuisance shutdowns. Because this is the primary safety limit, we recommend the OEM part.
Install difficulty: Moderate. The switch typically mounts to the heat exchanger panel with two screws and connects with spade terminals. Confirm proper airflow (clean filter, open registers, correct blower speed) before and after replacement, since low airflow is the most common cause of high-limit trips. Disconnect power before servicing; when in doubt, use a licensed HVAC technician.
