Quick answer: To wall-mount a Simpson, Westinghouse or Electrolux vented dryer you need the correct wall mount bracket (part 0030377193), $18.95, with same-day dispatch from our Sydney warehouse. It is the genuine part these dryers are designed to hang from.
Last updated June 2026
If you want to free up floor space in the laundry, or you have picked up a second-hand dryer that came without its bracket, or your old bracket has bent or snapped, this guide walks you through the one part that matters: the wall mount bracket. These vented dryers are built to hang inverted on a wall, and the bracket is what keeps them there safely. Get the right one, fix it to the wall properly, and the dryer sits securely for years.
Can I mount my Simpson dryer on the wall?
Yes. Simpson, Westinghouse and Electrolux vented dryers in this family are designed to be wall-mounted, and most of them are meant to run inverted (upside down) when hung. That is not a workaround — it is how the manufacturer intended them to be installed. The controls and the vent are positioned so the machine works correctly in the inverted position, which is why you will see the model badge and controls appear “upside down” once the dryer is up on the wall.
The part that makes this possible is the wall mount bracket. It bolts to the wall, and the back of the dryer hooks and locks onto it. Without the bracket, there is no safe way to hang one of these dryers — you cannot simply screw through the cabinet or rest it on a shelf. The bracket spreads the load across fixings rated for the wall and holds the machine at the correct angle.
Two situations bring most people to this part. The first is space: mounting the dryer high on the wall clears the floor underneath for a basket, a benchtop, or a laundry trough. The second is a missing or damaged bracket — common with second-hand dryers sold without the original mount, or with older brackets that have corroded, bent under load, or lost their fixings over the years. In both cases the fix is the same genuine bracket, part 0030377193.
Before you buy, check your dryer is one of the models this bracket suits. The model number is printed on the model sticker, usually on the back of the machine or inside the door rim. Match it against the list below.
Which wall mount bracket fits my dryer?
The genuine bracket for this range is part 0030377193 (also referenced as 0030300200 on some older paperwork). It is a single steel bracket that suits a long list of Simpson, Westinghouse, Electrolux and Hoover vented dryers. Here is the fitment at a glance.
| Part number | Fits these models | Genuine/Compatible | Price | Buy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Wall mount bracket — see listing | Simpson 39P400M, 39P500M, 39S500M, 39S600M, SDV401, SDV501, SDV556HQWA, SDV601; Electrolux EDV505, EDV5051, EDV5552, EDV605, EDV6051, EDV605S, EDV6552; Westinghouse WDV5051, WDV6051, LD352A, LD353A, LD500B, LD503A, LD505EB, LD515A, LD605EB, K505EDB; Hoover 3525DB, 3525DD, 3525DE, 3530DB, 3530DD, 5030DB, 5030DD, 5030DE, 5040EDB, 5040EDD, 5050EDB, 5050EDD | Genuine | $18.95 | Buy now |
In plain terms: if you own a Simpson vented dryer in the 39-series (39P400M, 39P500M, 39S500M, 39S600M) or an SDV-series (SDV401, SDV501, SDV556HQWA, SDV601), this is your bracket. The same part covers the Electrolux EDV vented range — EDV505, EDV5051, EDV5552, EDV605, EDV6051, EDV605S and EDV6552 — which share the cabinet and mounting design with the Simpson machines.
Westinghouse owners are covered too. The WDV5051 and WDV6051, along with the older LD-series (LD352A, LD353A, LD500B, LD503A, LD505EB, LD515A, LD605EB) and the K505EDB, all use the same mount. And if you have an older Hoover vented dryer — the 3525, 3530, 5030, 5040 or 5050 variants listed above — the same bracket is the correct one for those as well.
These brands overlap because they came out of the same manufacturing group and share the underlying dryer platform. That is why one bracket suits such a broad model list. If your exact model is not printed above, check the model sticker and run it through our part finder rather than guessing — a bracket that is close but not correct is not worth the risk with a machine this heavy.
How to fit the dryer wall mount bracket safely
Fitting the bracket is straightforward, but the fixings are everything. A loaded dryer is heavy, and the wall has to carry it. Work through these steps carefully, and if you are not confident about the wall type or the fixings, bring in a competent person or a licensed tradie.
- Find your fixing points. On a timber-stud wall, locate the studs with a stud finder and mark them — you want the bracket screwed into solid timber, not just plasterboard. On a brick, block or masonry wall, plan for masonry anchors rated for the load. Never rely on plasterboard plugs alone to hold a dryer.
- Set the height. Decide how high you want the machine. Leave enough clearance above for the dryer to hook on and lock, and enough below so the door opens and you can reach the controls. Remember the dryer hangs inverted, so the door and controls end up lower than you might expect. Check the clearance around the vent as well.
- Level the bracket. Hold the bracket against the wall at your marked height and set a spirit level along the top edge. A bracket that is even slightly out of level will leave the dryer sitting crooked, which throws off the door seal and the balance. Mark your holes only once it is level.
- Fix it to the wall. Drill your marked holes and drive the correct fixings for your wall type — coach screws or heavy screws into studs, or rated masonry anchors into brick or block. Use every fixing hole the bracket provides; do not skip any. Tighten firmly so the bracket sits flush and does not flex when you pull on it.
- Test the bracket before the dryer goes on. Give the fixed bracket a solid tug and lean on it. It should not move, creak or pull at the wall. If there is any give, stop and sort the fixings before going further.
- Invert and hang the dryer. Turn the dryer to its inverted mounting position as per the machine, line the rear mounting points up with the bracket, and lower it on until it hooks and locks home. This is a two-person job — the machine is awkward and heavy. Once it is on, check it is seated correctly, then connect the vent and power.
Take your time on the fixings and the levelling. Those two things are what separate a dryer that sits safely for a decade from one that works loose.
Genuine bracket vs makeshift — why it matters
It is tempting to improvise — a length of angle iron, a shelf bracket, or the bent old mount pressed back into shape. With a wall-hung dryer, that is a false economy, and it is a genuine safety issue.
The genuine bracket (0030377193) is shaped and rated to match the dryer’s rear mounting points. It holds the machine at the correct angle, spreads the weight across the fixings the way the manufacturer intended, and locks the dryer so it cannot lift off in normal use. A makeshift bracket does none of that reliably. It may not sit at the right angle, the load may concentrate on one point, and the dryer may not lock on — which means it can shift, vibrate loose, or come off the wall entirely. A running dryer that is not correctly seated can walk, and a heavy machine coming down is a serious hazard to anyone underneath.
A bent or corroded original is no better. Once the steel has yielded, it does not go back to full strength, and a bracket that failed once will fail again. At $18.95, the genuine part is far cheaper than the risk. Fit the bracket the dryer was designed for, use fixings that suit your wall, and you have a mount you can trust.
Frequently asked questions
Which wall mount bracket do I need for a Simpson vented dryer?
Part 0030377193 (also referenced 0030300200). It is the genuine bracket for the Simpson 39-series and SDV-series vented dryers, and it also suits the matching Electrolux EDV, Westinghouse WDV/LD and older Hoover models. Check your model sticker against the fitment table above.
Do these dryers really hang upside down?
Yes. Most Simpson, Westinghouse and Electrolux vented dryers in this range are designed to run inverted when wall-mounted. The controls and vent are positioned for the inverted position, so the machine works correctly even though the badge appears upside down once it is up.
Can I fit the bracket to a plasterboard wall?
Only into the studs behind the plasterboard, using fixings rated to hold the load. Plasterboard plugs alone will not safely carry a loaded dryer. On brick or block, use masonry anchors rated for the weight. If you are unsure about the wall or the fixings, use a competent person or a licensed tradie.
My old bracket is bent — can I just reuse it?
No. Once the steel has bent or corroded it has lost strength and can fail under load. Replace it with the genuine bracket rather than trying to straighten the old one — the machine is too heavy to risk.
How much does the bracket cost and how fast does it ship?
The genuine bracket is $18.95 in AUD, with same-day dispatch from our Sydney warehouse on orders placed before the daily cut-off. See the dryer parts range for related parts.
