The Goodman 20162904 Primary Limit Temperature Control is a genuine OEM high-limit safety for the AMVC80804CNBC gas furnace and compatible Goodman/Amana models. Mounted on the heat-exchanger bulkhead, the primary limit continuously monitors supply-air/heat-exchanger temperature. If airflow is restricted — a dirty filter, failing blower, or closed registers — it opens to shut off the gas valve and prevent the heat exchanger from overheating, then automatically resets once temperature returns to a safe range.

Specifications

Type: Primary high-limit temperature control (auto reset)
Action: Normally closed, opens on overtemperature
Function: De-energizes gas valve on high heat-exchanger temperature
Mounting: Bulkhead/plate mount at heat exchanger
Fit: AMVC80804CNBC and related Goodman/Amana furnaces
OEM Part Number: 20162904

OEM vs. Generic

The OEM 20162904 is factory-calibrated to the exact cut-out temperature and sensing-element length for this furnace. Generic limits with a different trip point or probe geometry can nuisance-trip or, worse, fail to protect the heat exchanger. This is a life-safety control — OEM is strongly recommended.

Installation Difficulty

Easy to Moderate — Disconnect power, note wire routing, remove the two mounting screws and spade connectors, and install the replacement in the identical position and orientation. Confirm the furnace fires, heats, and cycles off normally. If the original tripped, have a technician diagnose the airflow cause.
