Error codeHS

What HS reports
The humidity sensor in an LG refrigerator has either shorted or lost its connection. LG’s list carries the code for refrigerators without naming a series.
Owner options
LG gives no troubleshooting steps for HS, so the refrigerator requires a repair service.
An LG refrigerator in San Francisco or the Bay Area that shows HS can be booked at (415) 223-7887. Have the code and the model number ready, plus a note of anything you tried. See LG refrigerator repair for the service outline.
Model compatibility: LG reuses codes across series and model years, so HS may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
The humidity sensor is shorted or disconnected.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
