LG Range Error Code HS

HS stands for Hot Surface, and it is a safety indicator that tells you the cooktop surface is still above approximately 150°F (66°C). It appears after a cooking element is turned off or during and after a self-clean cycle. The display will turn off automatically once the surface cools to that threshold. No repair or reset is needed under normal conditions.

The HS indicator is a warning that the surface is still hot enough to cause burns on contact. You should avoid touching the cooktop surface while HS is displayed. The range itself is not in a fault condition, but exercise caution and keep children away from the surface until the indicator clears.

If the HS indicator is appearing normally after cooking or a self-clean cycle, there is no repair needed and no cost involved. If the indicator is stuck on with a cold range, the issue could involve a faulty temperature sensor or control board, with repair costs typically ranging from $150 to $400 depending on the specific component and labor rates in your area.

In most cases, no fix is required. Simply wait for the cooktop surface to cool down to approximately 150°F (66°C) and the indicator will turn off on its own. If you ran a self-clean cycle, allow additional time for the range to cool completely. Only if the indicator stays on with a cold range and no recent heat use should you suspect a component issue.

Resetting the range by cutting power will not clear the HS indicator because it is based on actual surface temperature, not a stored fault code. The indicator is controlled by a temperature sensor and will only turn off when the surface physically cools to approximately 150°F (66°C). Unplugging and replugging the range will not speed up that process.
