With a test light, find out if the above counter switch turns on the top and
or the bottom receptacle. My assumption would be that one outlet is live
constantly, for the dishwasher, and the other works off the switch, for the
disposal.

That's probably the way it was, *before* she replaced the receptacle. When she
put the new one in, though, she missed the jumper tab.

If the switch used to control one of the outlets, but now doesn't,
you need to replace the switch

She doesn't need to replace the switch. She needs to break out the jumper tab
connecting the top and bottom halves of the receptacle on the hot side.

I replaced an electrical plug under the sink in the kitchen.
Currently is does not work properly. If the garbage disposal is
plugged in the outlet then the disposal stays on even when the switch
is off at the sink above the counter. Both the disposal and
dishwasher are plugged in the outlet. What do I need to fix with the
wiring?
