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?

MODEL 107RB45

It looks like your stove has the deep well burner, but all you would need to find is the insert for it.  They tended to become separated from stoves much like crisper drawers did from refrigerators.

I am having a rough time finding a size or if the deep well insert is interchangeable with other manufacturers. I wonder if the one on that eBay listing for $200 may work, I might try it. It is quite expensive.

That's a really nice looking range. I believe that RB45 indicates that it's a 1951 model, and agree with Ralph that it features the "Thrift Cooker".
I would suggest downloading the Hotpoint range brochure from 1951 for details on each model. This can be done at the main menu by selecting Manuals & Literature. Under publisher, select Hotpoint; and product, ranges. There is also an option for full catalogs, of which one for 1951 is available.

Zac, you're very welcome. Hope you find the cooker insert soon.

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.
