The Goodman 20162904 Primary Limit Temperature Control is a genuine OEM high-limit safety switch for the GMV90703BXBA gas furnace. Mounted on the heat exchanger/burner bulkhead, this thermostatically-actuated control opens the circuit and shuts down the burners if the furnace overheats — protecting the heat exchanger from cracking and preventing dangerous operating temperatures. It automatically resets once the furnace cools to a safe range.

Part Type: Primary High-Limit Temperature Control
Function: Automatic-reset thermal safety cutoff
Contacts: Normally closed, opens on temperature rise
Fits Model: GMV90703BXBA (and compatible Goodman/Amana furnaces)

OEM vs. Generic

The limit switch's trip temperature is matched to this furnace's heat exchanger design. Genuine OEM 20162904 opens at the correct factory setpoint. Generic limits with a different rating can trip early (nuisance shutoffs) or too late (overheat risk). For a temperature-safety control, OEM is the recommended choice.

Installation Difficulty

Easy to Moderate (2/5). Turn off power, disconnect the two wire terminals, remove the two mounting screws, and install the replacement in the same orientation. 15–20 minutes with basic tools. Verify the new switch seats flush against the bulkhead for accurate temperature sensing.
