Quick answer
EIU on an LG refrigerator is a freezer ice maker assembly failure that needs a repair service.
Model compatibility: LG reuses codes across series and model years, so EIU may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
