What HS Means
HS indicates a short or disconnection in a humidity sensor, per LG's error-code list. LG documents no troubleshooting steps for this code.
Common Causes of HS
- Humidity sensor (used for crisper-drawer humidity control) has failed
- Sensor wiring has come loose or shorted
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
There's no owner-level fix documented for HS; a single power-cycle is worth trying, but a persistent HS code needs a technician to inspect the humidity sensor and its wiring.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- LG gives no troubleshooting path for this code, and the humidity sensor is typically mounted inside a crisper-drawer area with wiring routed through the liner.
- This affects a secondary comfort feature (humidity-controlled storage), not core cooling, so there's no safety reason to attempt an unsupported DIY fix rather than waiting for a scheduled service visit.
Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
