The Goodman 20162904 Primary Limit Temperature Control is a genuine OEM high-limit safety switch for the GKS90904CXAB gas furnace and compatible Goodman/Amana models. Mounted on the heat exchanger, this normally-closed thermal switch opens the circuit and shuts down the burners if the furnace exceeds its safe operating temperature — protecting the heat exchanger from cracking and preventing a fire hazard. A failed limit switch is a common cause of short-cycling, no-heat, or a furnace that runs the blower continuously.
OEM vs. Generic: The limit switch is a safety-critical component with a precisely calibrated trip temperature matched to your furnace's heat exchanger. Generic switches with the wrong set point may nuisance-trip (cutting heat when the furnace is fine) or, worse, fail to open when they should. This genuine Goodman part carries the correct calibration and mounting for reliable, code-compliant protection.
Install difficulty: Easy to moderate — a two-wire swap after removing the furnace access panel and killing power. Confirm the replacement seats flat against the heat exchanger and route wiring away from hot surfaces. Verify normal heating cycle after installation.
