No - in cruise the valves are almost full closed (flight segment with max diff px) so if they fail in that position and the cabin pressure starts to fall then you cannot increase the pressure by closing that valves further as they are inop. Depressurization will continue until the diff px gets to a point that corresponds with the fixed valve position.
