Timothy, To access all of the internal components, you need to raise the top panel, and remove the front panel. Use a putty knife or similar thin flat blade tool. Insert the tool into the seam between the front panel and the top panel approximately 3 inches in from the cabinet / top panel corners. Press in on the tool to release the retainer springs, and lift up on the corners of the top to release and raise it. Remove the two 5/16" hex head screws holding the front panel to the cabinet cross brace, pull the panel out towards you at the top, and lift the lower part of the panel up and off the retainer clips attached to the base. You should find the air dome hose/tube attached to the tub outlet in the right rear corner of the cabinet.

Hello Wilma! No, water level switch WP21001554 is not listed for your model. Unfortunately, the pressure switch listed for your model, part number 207364, has been discontinued with no further replacements or cross references available and our company is unaware of any other available sources. Sorry about that!
