Appliance Spares
Quick answer: Euromaid and Omega vented dryers — the OCD40WA, DM4KG and ED45KG — are built on a shared platform, and the parts listings name both brands, so one set of spares covers them. The parts that actually fail are the heating circuit and the belt, and the single most useful spare is the heat restore kit, which bundles the heating element, capacitor, belt and filters in one box; the run capacitor and lint filter are also available on their own, along with a genuine wall-mounting bracket kit. For the Euromaid WMD107 10 kg/7 kg washer-dryer combo we carry the door seal, door hinge, door handle and inlet valve. Neither brand has an easy retail spares channel, so if you are not sure what your machine needs, run it through the Oz Appliance Spares Part Finder.
Why these machines are worth fixing
The small Euromaid and Omega vented dryers were sold as no-frills machines, and mechanically that is exactly what they are: a motor, a belt, a fan, an element and a lint filter. There is nothing exotic behind the panels, which means that when one stops heating or stops turning, the fault is almost always a single, cheap component — often a $10–$40 part — rather than anything terminal. A machine that has quietly dried washing for years does not become scrap because a capacitor has drifted out of spec or a belt has stretched.
The real problem owners hit is not the repair, it is the parts channel. These are budget brands without a visible spares network, and the usual advice from a call-out repairer is to replace the machine, because a service visit plus parts costs more than the dryer did new. Doing it yourself flips that maths completely. The shared platform also works in your favour: because the OCD40WA, DM4KG and ED45KG use common parts, the spares are proven across the whole family and are easier to keep available than parts for a one-off model. Fixing the machine you already own is also the cheapest and greenest outcome — one small part instead of a whole appliance in landfill.
The models this page covers
| Model or series | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Omega OCD40WA | 4 kg vented dryer | Shared platform. Named on the heat restore kit, run capacitor and filter listings. |
| Euromaid DM4KG | 4 kg vented dryer | Same platform as the OCD40WA — the listings name both brands. Heat restore kit, run capacitor and filter. |
| Euromaid ED45KG | 4.5 kg vented dryer | Named on the heat restore kit and filter listings. The run capacitor listing names the OCD40WA and DM4KG only, so ED45KG owners should confirm that part via the Part Finder. |
| Stirling Aldi Tempo | Vented dryer | Named on the lint filter listing alongside the OCD40WA, DM4KG and ED45KG — the filter is the one part confirmed for it on this page. |
| Euromaid WMD107 | 10 kg/7 kg washer-dryer combo | Door seal, door hinge, door handle and inlet valve. |
This page also helps owners of closely related models — confirm your exact machine via the Part Finder before ordering; a part is only confirmed for the models its listing actually names. You can browse the full range with a Euromaid product search.

Fitting it yourself
These are among the simplest dryers ever sold in Australia, and the heat restore kit exists precisely because the whole heating circuit can be renewed in one session on the bench: element, capacitor, belt and filters, all reached by removing the outer panels. Work through the heating element guide for the no-heat repair and how to replace a dryer belt for the belt; if you want the machine off the floor afterwards, the wall-mounting guide covers the bracket install. The WMD107 combo parts are equally approachable: the hinge and handle are screw-and-swap jobs, and the door seal and inlet valve are patient half-hour jobs rather than difficult ones. One plain safety rule for all of it: unplug the machine from the wall before you open it, and on the combo turn off the water taps too.
Can’t find your model?
On these dryers the model sticker is usually on the rear panel or around the door rim, and on the WMD107 combo it can be just inside the door opening. Stickers on machines that have spent years in a warm laundry are often faded or missing. If you cannot read yours, start with how to find any appliance model number, and if there is genuinely nothing left to read, how to identify an old dryer with no model sticker shows how to identify the machine from photos of the fascia, door and lint filter. Remember the badge on the front may say Omega or Euromaid for what is effectively the same dryer underneath, so do not be put off if a part listing leads with the other brand’s name. Send photos through the Part Finder or match the machine visually with Find Your Model.
FAQ
Are Omega and Euromaid dryer parts the same?
For the OCD40WA, DM4KG and ED45KG vented platform, yes — the heat restore kit and filter listings name both brands across those models, and the run capacitor listing names both brands for the OCD40WA and DM4KG. Outside that platform, only trust a crossover that a listing states explicitly, and confirm anything else via the Part Finder.
What is in the Omega/Euromaid heat restore kit?
The heating element, the capacitor, the belt and the filters — the four consumable parts behind most no-heat, slow-dry and stopped-drum faults on the OCD40WA, DM4KG and ED45KG. Fitting the lot in one session means you are not chasing a second fault a month later with the panels off again.
My Euromaid dryer spins but the air is cold. Which part do I need?
On this platform a cold-running dryer is nearly always the heating element or its capacitor, and the heat restore kit covers both at once. Confirm the diagnosis first with dryer not heating but spinning — a blocked vent can mimic a heat fault.
Does the filter fit the Stirling Aldi Tempo dryer?
Yes — the lint filter listing names the Stirling Aldi Tempo alongside the OCD40WA, DM4KG and ED45KG. That is the one part on this page confirmed for the Tempo; for anything else on that machine, go through the Part Finder.
Can I wall-mount a Euromaid or Omega dryer?
These small vented dryers are commonly wall-mounted, and we carry the genuine Omega Euromaid wall-mounting bracket kit (GYJ458-8 / SP12344). Read wall-mounting a dryer in Australia before drilling — fixing into solid studs or masonry matters more than the bracket itself.
Rattling from the back of an Omega dryer, or clothes still damp after a full cycle, usually points at the rear fan blade rather than the belt — see the OCD7C and OCD7HP fan blade fix.
