What to do when Super Freezing light shows on the freezerKind of codeMode, not a failure
A setting the freezer was put into, often by accident or by the store it came from, rather than a part that broke: a showroom or demo mode that lights the display while the compressor stays off, a fast freeze left running for days, a Sabbath setting that silences the alarms, a control lock, a door alarm reminding you the door stood open. Nothing has worn out, and the freezer's own buttons or manual put it back.
Usually leads toNo repair
Leave SUPER on if you have just loaded unfrozen food.
Shows up asFreezer Runs All the Time
A freezer running constantly never goes quiet: the compressor hums for hours, the base feels warm, and the power bill creeps up while the cabinet may or may not hold its temperature.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Whirlpool's own guidance for Super Freezing light on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Leave SUPER on if you have just loaded unfrozen food.
Turn it off from the control if it was set by mistake and food is freezing too hard.
If the freezer is warm even with SUPER on, book a visit.
Cleared?
The freezer is holding its temperature again and no part had to be replaced. If the same code comes back within a few days, or the packages start to soften again, book it as a fresh problem.
What not to do
Super Freezing is a feature, not a report of a problem. Expect the compressor to run longer while it is on.
