This error code often occurs in the Greenstar i combi boiler, and when it does, it's time to call a Gas Safe engineer.
Defective HCM (Heat Control Module).
When an HCM is not installed in the right position, it fails to communicate with the boiler, leading to a malfunction.
Defective Control Box.
A Gas Safe registered engineer who is conversant with all makes and models of boilers will diagnose the potential causes, which will include the synchronisation between the control box and the HCM. Any mismatch can disrupt communication between components, resulting in the F1 263 error code popping up.
Once the cause has been fully diagnosed, a solution will be implemented.
The engineer will thoroughly inspect the Heat Control Module (HCM) and the control box. Usually, just resetting the boiler can restore the system to its optimal settings. However, this procedure requires knowledge and understanding of the boiler's mechanics, which only a qualified gas engineer will possess.
That old chestnut, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it', is a typical excuse for avoiding an annual gas safety check. This mindset could be hiding some serious faults!
