The Goodman 10123538 Manual Reset Limit Switch is a genuine OEM safety control for the VMSS961005CNAA gas furnace and compatible Goodman/Amana models. This high-limit / rollout switch monitors temperature and opens the circuit if the furnace overheats or experiences flame rollout, shutting down the burners to prevent damage and hazard. As a manual-reset device, it must be physically reset after a trip — a deliberate safety feature that ensures the underlying fault is investigated.

A tripped or failed limit switch is a frequent cause of a furnace that ignites and then shuts off, or that will not fire at all. Replacing a defective switch with the correct OEM part restores reliable overheat and rollout protection.

Specifications

OEM Part Number: 10123538
Brand: Goodman
Type: Manual reset high-limit / rollout safety switch
Compatible Equipment: VMSS961005CNAA gas furnace
Category: Furnace safety limit control
Function: Opens on overheat/rollout; requires manual reset

OEM vs. Generic

The genuine Goodman 10123538 is calibrated to the exact trip temperature the furnace was engineered around. Because this is a life-safety control, a generic switch with a different set point can either nuisance-trip or fail to protect the equipment. We strongly recommend OEM for any safety limit.

Installation Difficulty

Moderate (2/5). Requires shutting off power and gas, removing the burner/access panel, disconnecting two spade terminals, and unscrewing the switch from its bracket. Confirm the trip and reset function after install. If you are not comfortable working near the burner assembly, we recommend a licensed HVAC technician.
