First... what the heck is an ASI.... I hate to be the only one that doesn't
know this code word :)

Ideas: Could be a bad thermostat... no I don't know how to test for that....
you could see if you could find it in the Dometic trouble shooting service
manuals posted at www.rv.com .... search on Dometic... then the model
number... I think...

Good Luck,

Bill
