Make sure its always 10 degrees or lower in the ice maker compartment when it does not drop ice for awhile, put a freezer thermometer in the ice maker compartment and tell us what it reads. Also put a freezer thermometer in your freezer and tell us what it reads.
Have you cleaned your condenser coil underneath the front of the refrigerator, if not, I'd do that first. The factory recommends that you clean your condenser coil underneath your refrigerator every 6-12 months, if you have pets that shed hair, then every 3-6 months.
A clogged condenser coil will cause to much heat load on the condenser and compressor and it will not cool properly at times, THUS ice may not drop consistently if the temperature goes above 10 degrees at times.
The condenser coil is located on the bottom of your refrigerator behind the front bottom kickplate grill.
Just open both refrigerator and freezer doors, then pull that kickplate grill off, PULL HARD it just unsnaps.
Then get a vacuum cleaner attachment or condenser brush to clean your condenser.
Even better would be if you have an air compressor or shop vac to blow the condenser coils out, yes its a bit more messy on your kitchen floor, but it cleans it thoroughly.

I figure it may be a problem with the control board but don't know which one controls the ice maker.
