Goodman 20162904 Primary Limit Temperature Control

The Goodman 20162904 is a genuine OEM primary limit temperature control designed for the GMH950453BXAD 95% AFUE gas furnace and other compatible Goodman and Amana models. Mounted on the heat-exchanger housing, this auto-reset high-limit switch protects the furnace from overheating by cutting the gas valve when supply-air temperature exceeds its factory set point — typically caused by a dirty filter, closed registers, or a failing blower.

Specifications

Type: Primary (main) high-limit temperature control
Reset: Automatic
Function: Normally closed, opens on over-temperature
Fits: Goodman GMH950453BXAD and compatible Goodman/Amana furnaces
Part number: 20162904 (OEM)

OEM vs. Generic

The OEM 20162904 carries the exact trip temperature, mounting flange, and terminal configuration matched to this furnace. A generic high-limit with a different set point can allow the heat exchanger to overheat or cause premature nuisance shutdowns. Because this is a primary safety control, we recommend the factory OEM part.

Installation Difficulty

Easy to moderate (2.5/5). Disconnect power, remove two mounting screws and the wire terminals, and transfer to the new control. Confirm proper airflow (filter, blower, ductwork) before returning the furnace to service, since restricted airflow is the most common cause of limit trips.
