To replace the bottom ice tray sensor in a Samsung RF263 Series refrigerator, follow these steps:

1. Disassemble the FF-Ice Room Cover to access the sensor.

2. Inspect the Yellow Connector:
- Check Pin No.3 (YEL) and Pin No.4 (YEL) for proper contact and switching.
- Measure resistance between the two pins; normal range is 3–40 kΩ.

3. Check for Wire Open Conditions:
- Inspect the wire from Connector No.3 (YEL) to Main PBA CN78 No.10 (ORG).
- Inspect the wire from Connector No.4 (YEL) to Main PBA CN78 No.12 (Sky Blue).

4. If failure is found (open or abnormal resistance):
- Replace the ice maker connector or sensor as required.

5. After replacing, inspect the main PBA to confirm normal operation.
