Appliance Spares
Quick answer: Stirling dryers — sold through ALDI special buys — are well supported with parts in Australia despite what the empty search results elsewhere suggest. For the SHPD80W heat pump dryer we stock the drum drive belt, the drum bearing kit and the door lock switch; for the Tempo vented models (GYJ45-68 and GYJ40-88) the heating element, lint filter, filter grille and wall bracket kit; and drive belts for the older SVD7 7 kg vented and SCD5E/SCD6E condenser families. Match your model from the sticker inside the door rim, then match the symptom in the table below — or photo the model sticker and send it through the Oz Appliance Spares Part Finder.

Why these dryers are worth fixing
A Stirling dryer that stops tumbling or stops heating almost never has a dead motor. On the heat pump models the drum belt stretches and the bearing behind the drum wears; on the vented Tempo models the element, filter and belt carry the load. Each of those is a modest part on a machine that otherwise has years left, and because the range was sold in big special-buy waves, thousands of identical units are ageing on the same schedule — the part that fixed your neighbour’s dryer will very likely fix yours.
One honest caution: ranges changed between special-buy runs, sometimes with different internals under the same-looking shell. The full model number on the sticker is the only reliable identifier, so read it before ordering anything. Our Stirling model number guide shows where the sticker sits on every type.

Fitting it yourself
These are simple machines to work on. A belt swap on the SHPD80W is the classic first repair: front panel off, drum supported, new belt over the drum and motor pulley. Our step-by-step SHPD80W belt fitting guide covers it, and the bearing kit guide handles the noisy-drum job. If the belt has failed on a machine that is also getting noisy, do both in one teardown — the heat pump dryer service kit guide explains why that pairing makes sense. Unplug the dryer before removing any panel.
Can’t find your model?
The model sticker on most Stirling dryers is inside the door rim or on the rear panel, and on wall-mounted vented units it can be hiding behind the machine. Stickers fade — photograph whatever is legible and send it through the Part Finder, or check the manual and receipt from the special-buy purchase. The no-sticker identification guide covers the tricks for older machines, and the Find Your Model tool takes a confirmed code straight to its parts.
FAQ
Who makes Stirling dryers and can I still get parts?
Stirling is an appliance brand sold through ALDI special buys, built across several manufacturing platforms — which is why the same belt listing can name SHPD80W, GGSHPD80W and STR-HPD80W together. Parts for the common failure points are stocked locally in Australia and listed by model on this page.
Why has my Stirling heat pump dryer stopped spinning?
Almost always the drum drive belt. The motor keeps humming but the drum stays still, sometimes after a brief squeal. The belt for the SHPD80W family is stocked, and the fitting guide linked above shows the replacement start to finish. If the drum turned noisily for months first, check the bearing at the same time.
Why won’t my Stirling dryer start at all?
With power confirmed at the outlet, a dryer that is dead with the door shut usually has a failed door lock switch — the machine will not run a cycle until that switch proves the door is latched. On heat pump models it is a small part behind the door surround.
My Tempo vented dryer runs cold. Which part do I need?
The heating element listed for the GYJ45-68 and GYJ40-88. Check the lint filter and airflow first, because a clogged filter can trip the thermal cut-out and mimic a dead element. If airflow is clear and the air never warms, replace the element.
Are Solt and Stirling heat pump dryer parts the same?
Some listings name both families — the SHPD80W belt and bearing kit listings also carry the GGSHPD80W code. Where a listing names both codes the crossover is confirmed; where it does not, order only the part listed for your sticker code. The Solt dryer parts finder covers the Solt side of the family.
