The Goodman 20162906 M4 Primary Limit Switch is a genuine OEM high-limit safety control for the ACVC961005CNBA furnace and compatible Goodman/Amana models. Mounted on the heat exchanger or burner partition, it monitors supply-air temperature and shuts off the gas valve if the furnace overheats — protecting the heat exchanger and your home from a runaway high-temperature condition.
OEM vs. Generic: The limit's trip temperature and mounting geometry are matched to this specific furnace. A generic switch with the wrong setpoint can nuisance-trip (short cycling) or, worse, fail to open at the correct temperature — a safety risk. Genuine Goodman limits carry the factory calibration, ensuring the furnace shuts down exactly when it should.
Install Difficulty: Moderate (2/5) — disconnect power, remove two mounting screws, transfer the wire connectors, and reinstall. A multimeter continuity check is recommended. When in doubt, use a licensed HVAC technician.
