My Door Strike broke
I watched video by searching by the part number. It was recommended by Sales Lady(Can't remember her name). I removed door from the unit and then removed all the screws on the door. There was about 16 of them. I then pushed on the 2 plastic clips which raised one side of the door. This exposed where the Door Strike goes into. I removed the screw that holds Door Strike in place. Inserted new Stronger Door Strike and lined up hole with screw slot. Screwed back in till tight, thus locking Door Strike in. Inserted all screws back in, and attached door back to unit. Tested fine and have now done several loads no problems. A $4 part would have cost me hundreds by service company. Thanks Part Select!

Drum cracked
Repair was easy, but the part does not come with directions. It is pretty self explanatory if you are used to taking things apart and fixing them. Otherwise there are YouTube videos you can pull up. Dryer runs like it is new again though and it was way cheaper than buying a new dryer.

HST code given by dryer
Called LG on the phone and they gave the button presses for diagnostics, which then gave the HST code, saying the Humidity sensor was bad.
The part was described as the Humidity sensor module. Actually it's just the wire leads for the sensor which must be electronic and only accessible by disassembling the dryer. There were descriptions about cleaning the wires, perhaps because some people use dryer sheets which cause a buildup on the wires and prevent them from doing their job. I use wool balls and have no buildup on my wires and replacing them did not fix the sensor, because the module accessible inside the dryer is not the moisture sensor, but only the wire leads.
