Quick answer: If your dryer wears an Omega, Euromaid, Stirling, Tempo, Akai, Rank Arena or Abode badge and it is a vented 4 to 4.5 kg machine, they almost all take the same wall bracket kit. These are one underlying Australian vented dryer sold under a lot of different names, and the mounting pattern is a platform feature rather than a brand feature. Find your badge below and the kit is settled.

One bracket, a lot of badges
One dryer wall bracket kit – part GYJ458-8, also listed as SP12344 – is listed for dryers sold under 11 Australian brand names, from Omega and Euromaid to Stirling, Tempo and Akai.
| Badge on your dryer | The bracket kit listed for it |
|---|---|
 Omega, Euromaid (OCD40WA, DM4KG, ED45KG and siblings) | Omega and Euromaid clothes dryer wall mounting bracket kit |
 Rank Arena, Abode, Omega | Rank Arena, Abode and Omega clothes dryer wall mounting bracket kit |
 Stirling (GYJ40-88, GYJ45-68, STR-CD50) | Stirling clothes dryer wall bracket kit |
 Tempo, Stirling, Akai | Tempo, Stirling and Akai clothes dryer wall mounting bracket kit |
 Badge not listed, vented machine, mounting points on the back | Universal dryer wall mount bracket kit with wall spacers |
Buy on the badge you can see. Where two rows both cover your machine, the hardware behind them is the same and either listing is correct.
Why so many names for one dryer
The 4 to 4.5 kg vented dryer is the most widely rebadged appliance in Australian laundries. One factory platform gets a different fascia, a different badge and a different retail channel, and it arrives here as Omega, Euromaid, Stirling, Tempo, Akai, Rank Arena or Abode. Internally they are close enough that the belts, elements, lint filters and bearings cross over as well as the brackets do.
That is good news when you own one. These are the machines that generic parts suppliers give up on, because there is no single brand to catalogue them under. Once you know the platform rather than the badge, the parts exist and they are ordinary parts.
It also explains a common confusion. People find a bracket listed under a brand they have never owned and assume it is the wrong item. The listing title names the badges we have confirmed it against; it is not a statement that other machines are excluded.
Check the machine is vented first
This platform is sold in vented, condenser and heat pump versions, and only the vented version belongs on a wall. The distinction is not subtle once you know where to look:
- Vented — blows warm damp air out of a duct or a rear outlet. No water container anywhere. This is the wall candidate.
- Condenser — collects water in a pull-out container you empty after a cycle, or plumbs to a drain. Stays on the floor.
- Heat pump — also collects water, and has a compressor that must sit level. Stays on the floor.
Some model codes in this family cover both a vented and a condenser variant, so read the machine rather than the code. If you empty water out of it, the answer is no, whatever the bracket listing says.
What else crosses over on this platform
If the bracket is coming off the wall for a house move, it is worth looking at the wear parts while the machine is down and accessible. The same cross-badge logic applies to all of them, and the detail sits in Euromaid and Omega dryer parts in Australia and Stirling dryer parts in Australia.
The three that matter on a machine of this age are the foam lint filter, which perishes and lets fluff past into the element housing; the drum bearing, which announces itself as a rumble; and the heating element, which is the part that finally stops the machine. None of them are difficult jobs on this platform, and all of them are easier with the dryer off the wall rather than at head height.
Getting it back on the wall
The install itself is the same as any vented dryer, and the general method is in how to wall-mount a dryer in Australia. Two points bite people on this platform specifically. The feet come off before the machine goes up, and the manual for many of these models specifies inverted mounting so the controls end up at a workable height — where that applies, the door gets rehung to match.
The other point is the wall. These are light machines by dryer standards, but a running dryer vibrates continuously and plasterboard alone will not hold one. Two studs, or masonry anchors into brick. If the wall face is tiled or uneven, the universal kit’s spacers are the usual fix. Where there are small children in the house, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s Product Safety guidance on appliance tip-over is worth reading before you settle on a height.
Frequently asked questions
My dryer says Akai but the bracket listing says Tempo and Stirling. Right part?
Yes. Those badges sit on the same vented platform and take the same bracket. The listing names the brands we have confirmed against, not the only machines it fits.
I cannot find a model code anywhere on the machine.
Look inside the door opening first, then the back panel near the outlet. On this platform the sticker is often a foil label that has gone unreadable. If it has, measure the spacing between the mounting slots on the rear panel and send us a photo of the back of the machine.
Is the Stirling kit the same as the Omega one?
They are the same underlying bracket, catalogued separately so each badge is findable. If your machine appears in both listings, buy whichever is in stock.
My machine is a Stirling heat pump model. Can I mount it?
No. The heat pump versions on this platform stay on the floor — the compressor needs to be level. Only the vented versions go up.
The dryer came with no bracket when I bought it secondhand. Is that normal?
Very. The brackets stay on the seller’s wall more often than not, which is why these kits sell steadily as separate parts rather than only as warranty spares.
Can I hang this dryer from a single stud if I use bigger screws?
No. The load has to spread across two fixing points into structure. A single stud puts the whole vibrating weight through one line of screws, and bigger screws in the wrong place do not change that.
Get the right bracket first time
Send us a photo of the badge and the back panel of your dryer, or run the model code through the part finder, and we will confirm which kit is listed for your machine and which anchors suit your wall. Same-day dispatch from Sydney’s Northern Beaches on orders placed before 12pm.
