Goodman 20162904 Primary Limit Temperature Control

The Goodman/Amana 20162904 is a genuine OEM primary high-limit temperature control designed for the AMEH801005CNAA gas furnace and compatible Goodman/Amana models. This safety switch monitors heat-exchanger and plenum temperature and shuts off the burners if the furnace overheats — protecting the heat exchanger, blower, and your home from unsafe conditions caused by restricted airflow, a dirty filter, or a failed blower.

Specifications

OEM Part Number: 20162904
Type: Primary high-limit temperature control (auto-reset)
Function: Overheat protection / burner cutoff
Fits: AMEH801005CNAA and compatible Goodman/Amana furnaces
Mounting: Factory-spec limit bracket / plenum
Category: Limit switch

OEM vs. Generic

This OEM limit is calibrated to the exact trip and reset temperatures specified for your furnace. Universal limits with the wrong cut-out point can nuisance-trip on normal cycles or, worse, fail to protect the heat exchanger. OEM ensures correct calibration and terminal fit.

Installation Difficulty

Rating: Easy to Moderate. Cut power at the disconnect, remove the two mounting screws, transfer the wire leads, and reinstall. A multimeter continuity check confirms the new limit is closed at room temperature. No gas work required.

If your furnace is short-cycling on limit, always check airflow and filters before replacing the limit control.
