Goodman 20162906 M4 Primary Limit Switch

The Goodman 20162906 is a genuine OEM M4 primary (high) limit switch built as a direct-fit replacement for the WFM18090S5CXCB gas furnace and compatible Goodman/Amana models. Mounted on the heat exchanger bulkhead, this temperature-sensing switch monitors supply-air heat and interrupts the burner circuit if temperatures exceed the safe setpoint — protecting against overheating from a dirty filter, failed blower, or restricted ductwork. Auto-reset operation restores the circuit once the furnace cools to a safe range.

Specifications

Part number: 20162906
Type: M4 primary / high-limit switch
Configuration: Normally closed, temperature auto-reset
Fits: Goodman WFM18090S5CXCB and compatible furnaces
Function: Supply-air high-temperature safety cutoff

OEM vs. Generic

Our OEM Goodman M4 switch is calibrated to the precise open/close temperatures matched to this furnace's heat exchanger and blower design. Generic limits with different setpoints cause short-cycling on limit or fail to protect the exchanger. For a primary safety control, use the correct OEM part.

Installation Difficulty

Easy (2/5). Disconnect power and gas, remove the two mounting screws and wire terminals, and install the new 20162906 in the same orientation on the heat-exchanger panel. Restore power and confirm normal cycling. Replace any dirty filter that may have caused the original trip.
