What EIU
actually means.
LG reports EIU when the ice maker assembly in the freezer compartment has failed. The freezer ice maker stops filling or releasing ice while the rest of the unit keeps running.

What to do when EIU shows on the ice makerKind of codeIce making and harvest
The ice maker froze a batch and could not release it, or the harvest never started: the ejector arm or the twisting tray stalled, the mold heater did not loosen the cubes, or the arm that senses a full bin reported the wrong thing. Ice jammed against the arm and a bin pushed in crooked are cleared first; a motor module or a whole ice maker assembly comes after.
Usually leads toIce maker assembly replacement
A new ice maker module fitted in the freezer compartment or the door compartment, after the water, the temperature and the bin sensor have been proved good, so the new part is not blamed for an old problem.
Shows up asNo Ice Coming From the Ice Maker
The mold sits empty or holds one frozen batch that never drops, the bin stays bare for days, and the dispenser gives water as usual: an ice maker not making ice while the rest of the appliance carries on normally.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from LG's own guidance for EIU on its ice makers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Pull out the freezer ice bin and check for ice jammed in the mold or the chute.
Reset power once by unplugging the unit for a minute.
If EIU returns, book a visit; LG lists no owner steps.

What not to do
EIU is not about the sensor on the freezer ice maker; LG uses EID for that. It does not concern the ice maker in the fresh food door.

LG ice maker repair
Door ice maker
The ice maker that feeds the dispenser on the outside of a door: tucked into an insulated box in the left door of a French door model, or at the top of the freezer side of a side-by-side, with a chute and an auger carrying cubes to your glass.
Freezer ice maker
The ice maker that sits inside the freezer compartment itself, a tray that twists or a mold with a heater and an ejector, dropping cubes into a bin or drawer you open by hand, with no dispenser on the door.
In LG's own words
An EIU error code indicates a freezer compartment ice maker assembly failure.
Every code on this site is taken from the manufacturer's documentation, never from a forum or a parts listing. LG models with an ice maker in the freezer compartment.
