Hello!
I found a matching range for my refrigerator. This range will not fit in my kitchen so I will have an add-on built. I found a listing on eBay for a deep well, but does this model even come with one? I was not able to check. Included is oven power cord, this looks modern and I'm sure I do not have to do any changes?

I'll bet if you keep looking you can find something that will work unless you're determined to have it look 100% original, but even that's' possible. With the element in the down position you could take some measurements and perhaps find something new that would fit without looking funky. Even something with better construction, maybe stainless steel with a heavy bottom instead of just a stamped aluminum pot. I really like that fridge. The color is just great. |

The size and design of a given well and/or insert can vary based on which company manufactured the stove. I don't think the insert diameter (as long as it wasn't too wide for the well) would matter as much as depth. Inserts other than GE/Hotpoint might be shorter, taller, or otherwise ill-fitting, in which case they wouldn't look right on an otherwise beautiful stove.
If I were in your situation, I'd wait for just an insert to come along on ebay or other such site. The seller's return policy for the item you linked to isn't very accommodating, so proceed with caution. |
