Can I fix LG code HS myself?

Start with these safe checks: Clean the sensor bars inside the drum just below the lint filter, and let them dry before running another cycle. If HS persists, request service.

When should I call a technician for code HS?

If HS persists, request service. Unplug it or switch the breaker off before you remove any panel. Don't test or replace wiring, control boards, heating elements or motors under power. If you see scorching, smell burning, or the breaker trips again, leave it off and call a qualified appliance technician or electrician.
