The Goodman 20162904 is a genuine OEM primary limit temperature control for the Goodman VMS80603AXAA 80% AFUE gas furnace. Mounted on the heat exchanger bulkhead, this high-limit switch continuously monitors supply-air temperature and opens the control circuit to shut off the burners if the furnace overheats — typically caused by a dirty filter, blower failure, or restricted airflow. It is an auto-reset device that closes again once temperatures return to a safe range, and it is essential to safe furnace operation.
The genuine OEM Goodman 20162904 is factory-set to the exact open/close temperature and insertion depth this furnace requires. A universal limit control with the wrong trip point or probe length can cause repeated nuisance shutdowns or allow the furnace to run past safe temperatures. For this safety-critical component, we recommend the OEM part.
Easy (1/5). Two mounting screws and two spade terminals. Cut power before servicing and confirm airflow is not the root cause of the trip. Professional diagnosis recommended.
