Goodman B1370188 170°F Primary Limit Switch

The genuine Goodman B1370188 is the primary high-limit switch for the GMNT120-5 gas furnace and compatible Goodman/Amana models. Mounted on the heat exchanger or partition panel, it continuously monitors supply-air temperature and shuts off the burners if the furnace overheats from low airflow, a dirty filter, or a failed blower. This factory OEM control matches the original 170°F calibration and mounting footprint precisely.

Specifications

Trip temperature: 170°F (opens on rise)
Reset type: Automatic reset
Function: Primary high-limit / overheat protection
Terminals: 1/4" quick-connect spade
Fits: Goodman GMNT120-5 and compatible furnaces
OEM Part #: B1370188

OEM vs. Generic

Because the primary limit is the furnace's main overheat safeguard, OEM calibration matters. The B1370188 is set and tested to 170°F at the factory; generic switches with different trip points can cause short-cycling or allow the heat exchanger to run too hot. OEM is the safe, reliable choice.

Installation Difficulty

Easy (1/5). Kill the power, disconnect the two wires, remove the mounting screws, and install the new switch on the same bracket. Basic tools only. Confirm the model and correct orientation before restoring power.
