HS on the Signature dryer is a humidity sensor failure; that sensor is how the dryer decides a load is dry. LG SIGNATURE dryer display What to do when HS shows on the dryer ### Kind of code Sensor circuit A thermistor or the moisture sensor bars reading outside their range, or the wiring to them. The reading is checked with a meter before any part is ordered. ### Usually leads to Controls and sensors A blank display, a panel that ignores buttons, codes, or cycles that end too soon or never end, traced to the board, timer or sensors. ### Shows up as Dryer Takes Too Long to Dry Loads that used to dry in one cycle now need two, or come out damp at the seams. ### Make LG SIGNATURE LG's premium line, with laundry models built to a higher finish and more electronics than LG's main range. ### Source LG DLEX9500*/DLGX9501* dryer owner's manual MFL67731093 (PDF on LG's document server) Signature electric and gas dryers covered by owner's manual MFL67731093. ## Before you book, in this order.

Switch the dryer off. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why does the Signature manual not tell me to clean the sensor for HS? Its code table simply lists HS as a humidity sensor failure and says to turn the dryer off and call for service. A technician checks the sensor strips and their wiring during the visit. ### Can HS show up during the Signature installation test? Yes, HS is one of the codes the manual tells you to look for during the installation duct check. If it appears then, the dryer should be serviced before regular use. --- **[Read on the site: LG Signature dryer showing HS | DryerRepair.center](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/lg-signature-hs/)** **[Book a visit with DryerRepair.center](https://dryerrepair.center/schedule/)**
