Sort of.  If the flame goes out, the clicking (Pizzo
lighter) will start and continue.  The fridge will not
light unless someone pushes the by-pass button (as the
flame sensor in the compustion chamber goes cold).

I do not have the stock AC/DC/propane buttons, Mine
broke so I just put in 3 toggle switches.  Mine is a
91 Canadian modle Westy.

I'd suggest that some day when you have nothing better
to do that you take the fridge out and clean out the
entire propane line, right through to the the orifiace
in the computstion chamber.  My van's fridge not
lights on ONE click (at least with the combustion
chamber apart).  Malcolm
