Goodman 20162904 Primary Limit Temperature Control

The 20162904 primary limit switch is the OEM high-limit safety control for your Goodman / Amana AMEC960803BNAB gas furnace. It monitors heat-exchanger/plenum temperature and opens the gas circuit if the furnace overheats — typically from restricted airflow, a dirty filter, or blower failure. A failed limit is a common cause of short-cycling, no-heat, or lockout conditions.

Specifications

Part number: 20162904
Type: Primary high-limit temperature control (auto-reset thermal cutout)
Function: Opens burner/gas circuit on over-temperature
Fits: AMEC960803BNAB and compatible Goodman/Amana furnaces
Mounting: Factory bracket / heat-exchanger location
Rating: Matched to OEM cut-out/reset temperature for this platform

OEM vs. Generic

The OEM Goodman limit has the correct trip and reset temperatures and exact bracket geometry — critical, because a mismatched limit either nuisance-trips or fails to protect the furnace. Generic limits can carry the wrong temperature rating and compromise the safety function.

Installation Difficulty

Moderate (3/5). Two spade terminals and mounting screws, but correct positioning matters. 20–30 minutes. Shut off gas and power before servicing; verify airflow issues aren't the root cause.
