What Er HS
actually means.
Er HS names the humidity sensor: either the sensor has shorted or the wiring to it has a problem. It is one of the less common codes on the 795 chart, and the Sears listing gives the humidity sensor itself as the part involved.

A temperature sensor reading outside its range, or the wiring to it. The reading is confirmed with a meter before any part is ordered.

SourceSears PartsDirect: Kenmore 795 bottom-freezer error codes (Wayback copy, Jan 2021)
Kenmore models whose number starts 795 (built by LG), the bottom-freezer and French door series Sears groups together; Er HS is on that chart.
Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Kenmore's own guidance for Er HS on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Make sure the model number on the fresh food label starts with 795; Er HS is decoded from that series.
Note whether the code shows all the time or only now and then, since an on-and-off wiring problem behaves differently from a dead sensor.
Book a visit when it suits you and mention Er HS so the humidity sensor is on the checklist.
What not to do
Er HS is not a water leak warning. It concerns a sensor, and nothing on the chart ties it to water on the floor.
