OEM Goodman 20162904 Primary Limit Temperature Control

The Goodman 20162904 is a genuine OEM primary high-limit temperature control for the Amana/Goodman AMVC960804CNBA gas furnace. Mounted on the heat-exchanger bulkhead, this safety switch continuously monitors supply-air temperature. If the furnace overheats — typically from restricted airflow such as a dirty filter, closed vents, or a failing blower — the limit opens the circuit and shuts off the gas valve to protect the heat exchanger from cracking and to prevent a fire hazard. A furnace that short-cycles on heat or fails to fire may have a tripped or failed primary limit.

OEM vs. Generic

Limit switches are calibrated to a specific trip temperature. A generic switch with the wrong cut-out point can nuisance-trip or, worse, fail to trip when it should. The OEM 20162904 carries Goodman's exact temperature rating and mounting geometry for correct, reliable protection.

Install Difficulty

Rating: Moderate (2.5/5). Disconnect power, remove the two mounting screws, transfer the wire leads to the new switch, and reinstall in the same orientation. Basic hand tools and multimeter recommended to confirm the fault first.

Direct-fit replacement for the AMVC960804CNBA primary limit.
