What hs Means
hs on Frigidaire-built dishwashers indicates a hall sensor error in the wash motor — the control cannot read motor speed feedback. Appliance Aid lists wash motor replacement as the typical fix.
Common Causes of hs
- Wash motor hall sensor failure
- Wash motor fault
- Wiring between the motor and control board
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
Cancel the cycle, switch off the breaker for 3 minutes, and restore power once. Confirm the filter and sump are clear, since an obstruction can affect the motor. If hs reappears, book service.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- The wash motor is sealed under the tub; its seals must be replaced correctly or the unit leaks.
- Motor wiring testing is done on powered circuits in a wet area.
- Damage caused during a repair attempt may not be covered by your warranty — check your warranty terms first.
Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
