The Goodman/Amana 20162903 Primary Limit Switch is a genuine OEM high-temperature safety control rated to open at 150°F, designed for the AMEH800805CXAA gas furnace. Mounted on the heat exchanger or plenum, this normally-closed switch monitors supply-air temperature and shuts off the burners if the furnace overheats — protecting the heat exchanger from cracking and preventing a fire hazard when airflow is restricted by a dirty filter or blower fault.

Specifications

OEM Part Number: 20162903
Trip Temperature: 150°F (open on rise)
Type: Primary high-limit / auto-reset safety switch
Fits Model: AMEH800805CXAA

OEM vs. Generic

The Genuine OEM 20162903 is calibrated to the exact 150°F trip point and mounting geometry the AMEH furnace requires. Generic limit switches with the wrong temperature rating or bracket can trip too early (short-cycling, no heat) or too late (overheating risk). For a safety-critical control, OEM is the recommended choice.

Installation Difficulty: Easy

Rated 2 of 5. With power off, disconnect the two spade terminals, remove the mounting screws, and install the new switch in the same orientation. A DIY-capable homeowner can complete this in about 15 minutes; when in doubt, consult an HVAC technician.
