The Goodman 20162904 Primary Limit Temperature Control is a genuine OEM high-limit switch engineered for the GME950403BXAB 96% AFUE gas furnace and compatible Goodman/Amana models. Mounted on the heat-exchanger/plenum, this primary limit continuously senses supply-air temperature and opens the gas/ignition circuit if the furnace overheats — the main over-temperature safety that protects the heat exchanger and blower assembly. A failed or drifting primary limit is a common cause of short-cycling, no-heat, and safety lockouts.
OEM vs. Generic: The OEM 20162904 is matched to the precise cut-out and cut-in temperatures this furnace was certified with. Generic limits with a different set point can nuisance-trip on normal cycles or, worse, fail to protect the heat exchanger. Because this is the furnace's primary safety limit, genuine Goodman OEM is strongly recommended.
Install difficulty: Easy–Moderate (2 of 5). Disconnect power, note wire positions, remove the two mounting screws, transfer the spade connectors, and secure the new limit against the plenum surface. A multimeter confirms continuity at room temperature. Verify airflow (filter, blower) isn't the root cause before replacing.
