Quick answer
HS on an LG refrigerator indicates a shorted or disconnected humidity sensor.
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
Humidity sensor shorted or disconnected.
HS on an LG refrigerator means a short or disconnection of the humidity sensor. LG lists the code for refrigerators without naming a series.
