The Goodman 20162904 primary limit temperature control is a genuine OEM safety switch for the WGFM28115V5CXAA furnace and compatible Goodman/Amana models. Mounted on the heat exchanger housing, this high-limit switch opens the circuit and shuts off the burners if the furnace overheats — protecting the heat exchanger and preventing unsafe operation. A failed limit switch is a common cause of short-cycling, no-heat calls, or a furnace that trips off on high temperature.

Function: Primary high-limit / temperature safety control
Type: Automatic-reset bimetal snap-disc limit
Fits: Goodman WGFM28115V5CXAA and compatible gas furnaces

OEM vs. Generic

The OEM 20162904 is calibrated to Goodman's exact trip and reset temperatures for this furnace platform. Generic limits with different set points can nuisance-trip or, worse, fail to protect the heat exchanger. As a safety device, the genuine OEM part is the recommended choice.

Install Difficulty

Easy to Moderate — cut power at the disconnect, remove two mounting screws, transfer the spade wire connectors to the new switch, and reinstall. Typically a 15–20 minute repair with a nut driver. No gas work required.
