Error Code HS
Humidity/moisture sensor failure
Moderate
Address soon - your appliance may not work properly
Also displayed as: HS
How to Fix
- 1
Turn off the dryer and call for service.
- 2
Before calling, verify the moisture sensor bars are not just reading a wet load incorrectly.
- 3
If confirmed faulty, disconnect connector NA6 from controller.
- 4
Short Pin 3 (Orange Wire) and Pin 4 (Red Wire) on the 6-pin connector to controller.
- 5
During Diagnostic Test mode, check if display value is within range per Table 2: 70%-40% IMC displays 50-130 at 2.5V; 40%-20% IMC displays 130-205 at 2.0-4.0V; dried clothes display 205-240 at over 4.0V.
- 6
If value is out of range in diagnostics but NA6 voltage between Pin 3 (Orange) and Pin 2 (Blue) is correct, replace the moisture sensor / electrode sensor.
- 7
If NA6 voltage is also out of range, replace the controller.
