Locate the motor cover under the ice shoot, remove two screws holding it, next remove 4 screws holding the motor. Here are the breakdown diagrams and Motor and Ice Container parts for Whirlpool KSRP25FNBL00 - AppliancePartsPros.com Simon.

I don't think it's the motor now. I think it's the rectifier or what ever switches the polarity to the motor. Any ideas or suggestions?

Use flat screwdriver to pry the frame off and then lift it out.Use the towel to preserve the door from scratching. Unplug the fridge while working on it. Simon.
