The Goodman 20162906 M4 Primary Limit Switch is a genuine OEM temperature safety control for the Amana/Goodman AMEC960603BNBB gas furnace. Mounted on the heat exchanger housing, this primary auto-reset limit opens the control circuit if supply-air temperature climbs too high — typically from a dirty filter, blower failure, or blocked ductwork — shutting off the burners to protect the heat exchanger.

Specifications

Part Type: Primary limit switch (M4-series)
Reset: Automatic (closes when temperature returns to normal)
OEM Part Number: 20162906
Function: Normally-closed, opens on high limit
Brand: Goodman / Amana
Fits Model: AMEC960603BNBB (and compatible AMEC960603 series)

OEM vs. Generic

The M4 limit's cutout temperature and insertion depth are tuned to this furnace's heat exchanger. An incorrect substitute can short-cycle the furnace or allow dangerous overheating. This OEM switch matches Goodman's factory calibration and bracket exactly.

Install Difficulty

Easy (2/5) — Cut power, disconnect the terminals, remove the two mounting screws, and install the replacement in the same orientation. Hand tools only. If the limit continues to trip, correct the airflow restriction before returning the unit to service.
