The "plug" isn't a plug, it's a receptacle


How can you tell?

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?


Reverse the plugs.

That is, plug the top one into the bottom and the bottom one into the
top.
