The Goodman 20162904 Primary Limit Temperature Control is a genuine OEM high-limit safety switch for the GKS90904CXAH gas furnace and compatible Goodman/Amana models. Mounted on the heat-exchanger bulkhead, it continuously senses supply-air temperature and cuts the gas valve if airflow is lost or the exchanger overheats — protecting against cracked heat exchangers and fire hazards. Unlike the manual-reset auxiliary switch, this primary limit typically auto-resets once temperatures return to a safe range.
The OEM primary limit is factory-calibrated to the exact open/close temperatures and features the correct sensing-element length and mounting flange for this furnace. Generic substitutes with the wrong trip point or probe depth cause repeated lockouts or fail to protect the exchanger. For a primary safety control, OEM is the only recommended option.
Moderate — power off at the breaker, remove the blower/burner panel, unscrew the mounting flange, transfer the two wire leads, and reseat the sensing element in the airstream. About 20–30 minutes for a competent DIYer; a licensed technician is advised if you are unsure. Verify furnace cycles and limits correctly after install.
