The Goodman 10123538 manual reset limit switch is a genuine OEM overheat safety control for VMES961005CNAA modulating gas furnaces. This normally-closed thermal switch opens the ignition/blower control circuit if the heat exchanger or cabinet exceeds its safe temperature threshold, shutting down the burners to protect the furnace and your home. Because it is a manual reset device, a trip requires a physical button press to restore operation — an intentional design that flags a persistent airflow or overheating fault for inspection.

Specifications

OEM Part Number: 10123538
Type: Manual reset thermal limit switch
Function: Normally closed, opens on overheat
Reset: Manual push-button
Fits: Goodman/Amana VMES961005CNAA furnaces

OEM vs. Generic

The Genuine OEM 10123538 is calibrated to the exact trip temperature specified for this furnace platform. Aftermarket limit switches may carry a different set point, which can cause nuisance trips or, worse, fail to cut out when needed. For a safety-critical component, we recommend the OEM part.

Installation Difficulty

Rating: Moderate (3/5). Requires disconnecting furnace power, removing the burner/control panel, transferring the two spade terminals, and remounting to the heat exchanger bracket. Basic hand tools needed. If the switch keeps tripping after replacement, diagnose the underlying airflow restriction — do not bypass the limit.
