The Goodman 20162906 is a genuine OEM primary high-limit switch engineered for the GCH90704CXAB gas furnace and compatible Goodman/Amana models. This safety control monitors heat-exchanger temperature and interrupts the burner circuit if the furnace overheats, protecting the unit and your home from unsafe operating conditions. A worn or open limit switch is a common cause of short-cycling, no-heat, and lockout faults.

Function: Primary high-limit / temperature safety cutout
Fits: Goodman GCH90704CXAB and select Goodman/Amana furnaces

OEM vs. Generic

This is a factory-original Goodman component with the exact trip and reset temperature rating your furnace was designed around. Generic aftermarket limits may use a different set point, which can cause nuisance trips or fail to protect the heat exchanger. For a safety-critical control, OEM is strongly recommended.

Installation Difficulty

Moderate — Requires shutting off power and gas, removing the burner/blower access panel, disconnecting two spade terminals, and swapping the switch. Basic hand tools and 20–30 minutes. If you are not comfortable working near the heat exchanger, use a licensed HVAC technician.
