Goodman 20162904 Primary Limit Temperature Control

The Goodman 20162904 is the primary limit temperature control for the GME951005DXAA modulating gas furnace and compatible Goodman and Amana models. Mounted on the heat-exchanger bulkhead, this auto-reset thermal limit continuously monitors supply-air temperature and opens the burner circuit if the furnace overheats — typically caused by restricted airflow, a dirty filter, or a failed blower. It automatically re-closes once temperatures return to a safe range, allowing normal operation to resume.

Type: Primary limit / high-limit temperature control
Reset: Automatic (closes on temperature drop)
Circuit: Normally closed, opens on over-temp
Function: Heat-exchanger over-temperature protection

OEM vs. Generic

Genuine OEM 20162904 is calibrated to the exact cut-out temperature and bracket geometry Goodman engineered for this cabinet, so the furnace's safety envelope stays intact. A generic limit can save money when the trip point and mount match, but mismatched calibration causes nuisance lockouts or, worse, delayed shutdown — we recommend OEM on this primary safety control.

Installation Difficulty

Moderate (2/5). Cut power to the furnace, remove the two mounting screws and the wire terminals, then install the replacement in the same orientation. 15–25 minutes. If the old limit was tripping, have a technician diagnose the airflow or blower issue before relying on the new part.
