What Er HS / Er SS / Er rt (795 / LG-built) means

On Kenmore 795. refrigerators, which LG built, these three codes name supporting sensors rather than the main cooling sensors. Er HS is the humidity sensor, Er SS is the pantry or deli drawer sensor, and Er rt is the room temperature sensor. Each reports a sensor short or a wiring problem. Cooling usually carries on, but the feature that uses that sensor may act oddly, such as a pantry drawer that does not hold its setting.

Common causes of Er HS / Er SS / Er rt (795 / LG-built)

The named sensor
Its wiring and connector
The board input it feeds
A pinched wire

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Note which of the three codes is showing. 2. Check that the compartments are cold with a thermometer. 3. If Er SS shows, try the pantry drawer at its normal setting. 4. Unplug the refrigerator for a few minutes, then plug it back in. 5. If the code returns, call us.

Er HS / Er SS / Er rt (795 / LG-built)Er HS / Er SS / Er rt (795 / LG-built) questions

Are these codes serious?

They are generally less urgent than a main temperature sensor code, since cooling usually continues. We still check, because a shorted sensor can affect how the control manages temperatures.

What is Er rt?

It is the room temperature sensor, which helps the control adjust for the kitchen environment. A bad reading can make the refrigerator run longer or shorter than it should.

Can these wait until a convenient time?

Often yes, if the refrigerator is cooling well. We would still look soon, because a shorted sensor can affect temperature control over time. A written price comes first, with a 30-day workmanship warranty.
