Whirlpool WDF520PADM9 upper-rack track stops: removable W10082861
Whirlpool's official W11494778 Rev. A repair-parts list applies to undercounter models WDF520PADB9, WDF520PADW9, and WDF520PADM9. In the upper rack and track parts figure, it names W10082861 as a removable track stop and 8565925 as a non-removable track stop. The same figure separately identifies upper rack W10826745, wheel mount W10845760, track 3385089, and track spacer W10306228. This model-specific distinction helps avoid trying to order or remove the wrong stop.
Safety boundary
- Use the removable stop only as the model diagram labels it; do not force or pry the non-removable stop. Support the rack so dishes cannot fall. Refer to the exact owner manual for consumer removal and cleaning steps.
Compatibility requires a direct model listing, explicit supersession, or equivalent manufacturer evidence.
Required identifiers
- Exact Whirlpool model: WDF520PADM9 (stainless variant)
- Repair-parts list: W11494778 Rev. A
- Upper rack/track list distinguishes removable stop W10082861 from non-removable stop 8565925

Compatibility rules
- Whirlpool's Corporation-authored W11494778 Rev. A parts list expressly names WDF520PADM9 among the covered models.
- The upper rack/track parts list labels W10082861 as a removable stop and 8565925 as a non-removable stop.
- The official PDF separately lists the rack, mount/wheel, track, spacer, and stops.
- The PDF lists the model as the stainless WDF520PADM9 variant; do not extend it to another suffix or finish variant unless that variant is listed.
Never assume
- The non-removable track stop 8565925 should be removed like the removable stop.
- The track stop, wheel mount, track, and rack are one part.
- This repair-parts list covers all WDF520 variants.
Official parts-list receipt
- Whirlpool document W11494778 Rev. A names WDF520PADM9 (stainless) on its cover.
- Printed page 16, UPPER RACK AND TRACK PARTS: W10082861 removable track stop; 8565925 non-removable stop.
Rack and track are separate
The same figure lists upper rack W10826745, wheel mount assembly W10845760, track 3385089, and spacer W10306228 as separate components.
Finish and suffix boundary
The repair-parts list also names black and white model siblings, but this record is bounded to the stainless WDF520PADM9 identifier and does not infer compatibility beyond the explicitly listed variants.
