[VAC] Dometic Fridge Operation

["James Greene" <drgreene@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Question for Charlie Burke or other experts:  I have heard that when running
on gas the Dometic fridge "pilot" stays lighted all the time and the
thermostat increases the gas flow rate when more cooling is called for. That
may apply to the older models prior to the electronic ignition found on the
newer fridges. Do the Dometics with a circuit board and electronic ignition
turn off the gas completely when no cooling is needed and then relight
themselves electronically when more cooling is called for? If so, about when
did the electronic ignition become standard?
