Goodman 20162904 Primary Limit Temperature Control

The Goodman 20162904 is a factory OEM primary high-limit temperature control engineered as a direct, exact-fit replacement for the Goodman ACSH960453BXAA furnace and compatible 96% AFUE gas furnace platforms. This safety limit switch continuously monitors heat-exchanger and plenum temperature, opening the gas/burner circuit if the furnace overheats — protecting the equipment and your home from unsafe operating conditions caused by restricted airflow, a dirty filter, or blower failure.

Specifications

Part type: Primary high-limit temperature control (auto-reset)
OEM Part Number: 20162904
Brand: Goodman (genuine OEM)
Application: Gas furnace heat-exchanger / plenum limit protection
Compatible model: ACSH960453BXAA and related Goodman furnaces
Function: Opens burner circuit on over-temperature, auto-resets on cooldown

OEM vs. Generic

This is the genuine Goodman OEM part, calibrated to the exact trip temperature specified by the manufacturer for your furnace. Generic or universal limit switches often carry the wrong cut-out/cut-in setpoints, leading to nuisance lockouts or — worse — delayed shutdown during a real fault. For a safety-critical control, the OEM part guarantees correct calibration and a clean factory fit.

Installation Difficulty

Moderate — typically a 20–30 minute job for a competent DIYer. Requires removing the burner/control panel, disconnecting two wire leads, and unscrewing the mounting bracket. Always shut off gas and electrical power at the disconnect before servicing. If you are not comfortable working around the burner assembly, we recommend a licensed HVAC technician.
