LG Dryer · Code HS

LG Dryer HS code: Moisture sensor error

The dryer's humidity (moisture) sensor is not working correctly, so it cannot judge when clothes are dry. Sensor-dry cycles may end too early or run too long.

Most common causes

  1. Dryer-sheet or fabric-softener film coating the sensor bars
  2. Lint buildup on the sensor
  3. Loose sensor wiring
  4. Failed sensor

What you can safely check yourself

  1. Unplug the dryer, then wipe the metal sensor bars inside the drum near the lint filter with a damp cloth and let them dry
  2. Clean the lint filter
  3. Plug back in and run a timed cycle to test

Unplug the appliance before moving or cleaning anything. Do not open panels, touch gas connections or bypass safety switches.
