The Goodman 20162904 Primary Limit Temperature Control is a genuine OEM high-limit safety device for the Goodman GKS90453BXAA gas furnace. Mounted on the heat-exchanger/blower bulkhead, it continuously senses supply-air temperature and shuts down the burners if the furnace overheats — typically from restricted airflow, a dirty filter, or a failing blower. As the primary limit, it is the furnace's front-line thermal protection and a required safety component for legal, reliable operation.
The genuine 20162904 is factory-calibrated to the precise open/close temperatures, insertion depth, and mounting footprint this furnace requires. Generic limit controls with approximate ratings risk nuisance lockouts or delayed tripping — unacceptable on a primary safety circuit. For this component, OEM is the correct and recommended choice.
Easy (2/5). Replacement usually takes 15–25 minutes: cut power, remove the two mounting screws, transfer the wiring, and seat the new control at the same insertion depth. If the limit continues to trip, have a technician investigate airflow, filter condition, and blower performance rather than bypassing the control.
