Goodman 20162906 M4 Primary Limit Switch

The Goodman 20162906 M4 primary high-limit switch is a factory OEM safety control for the Goodman GCH90453BXAB furnace and compatible models. Mounted on the heat exchanger, this thermal limit monitors supply-air temperature and shuts off the gas valve if the furnace overheats — protecting the heat exchanger and preventing dangerous conditions from restricted airflow, a failed blower, or a dirty filter. A tripped or failed limit switch causes short-cycling on heat or a furnace that fires briefly then shuts down.

Type: M4 Primary High-Limit Switch (auto-reset)

OEM vs. Generic

The OEM Goodman 20162906 is calibrated to the exact trip and reset temperatures required by this furnace's heat exchanger design. Generic limit switches with the wrong setpoint can nuisance-trip or, worse, fail to open at the correct temperature. For a life-safety control, use the OEM part.

Installation Difficulty

Easy to Intermediate — disconnect power, remove two mounting screws and the wire connectors, and install the replacement in the same orientation. Typically a 15-minute job.
