There is a heater in the ice tray that is supposed to thaw the cubes a little bit so they don't stick to the edge of the tray. When the heater does not work the ice sticks and the motor wont dump them out. You can see more info and comments and how to here: http://www.appliancepartspros.com/repair-help/kitchenaid-refrigerator-ksrl25frss00-repair/ksrl25frss00-ice-maker-wont-dispense-ice.html

J, sounds like your dispensor flapper is not closing properly and you are drawing warm air up into the ice bucket. This model had an issue where the flapper pin holder was part of the housing and would break off. They have a kit now that fixes that problem. The only other thing it could be would be low freezer temps or it's staying in defrost too long. With out being there, I would start with the dispensor flapper. Check it out and post back.. Catriver.

You either have icing that you didn't clear or the unit is low on gas. You might also try cleaning the condenser coils. This is a big problem in cooling.
To check low gas: After cleaning the condenser (!), clean around the piping to the compressor in the back of the unit. Wait at least an hour with the unit shut off. Restart. The larger pipe should begin to frost up. If after about 15 minutes the frosting gives way to: ice, wetness or drying out...the gas level is likely okay. If it stays frosted, you'll need a gas recharge.

There has to be a restriction in the water supply line from your saddle valve, ( shut off valve on the cold water line ) to the water valve. It can be in the category of, the hole in the water supply line is getting calcium build up or to small of piercing, or it can be a kink in the water line, or even the white fill tube at the icemaker is closing up with ice. 99% sure you will find the problem in one of those areas.

In photo below you can see the heating element that comes on moments before the ice maker drops the ice. If not working then the icemaker will struggle to unload. You need to unplug the refrigerator and then unpluge the ice maker and remove it to test these parts. Test with a multi meter or ohm meter. Test the 2 connections next to the number #26. Hope this helps, Sea Breeze
