The cubes would be normally be ejected from the tray. Normal operation would occur for 3-4 days and then it would go several days without ejecting the frozen cubes.

If the icemaker fills up - then it's ether bad icemaker, loose connection or the optic controls. Make sure that the control on the right is on. Check the attached file for optics test. Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for Whirlpool KSRP25FNBL00 REFRIGERATOR | AppliancePartsPros.com Thank you. Simon.

The ejector arm has rotated to the vertical 12 o'clock position and has not moved beyond that position for several hours and has not ejected the ice. Any ideas???
