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


How can you tell?


I am assuming this is sarcasm?

No. The OP said she replaced the "plug" and she said the garbage
disposal was "plugged" into the "outlet" and later said both devices
were "plugged" into the "outlet". She seemed to know the difference
between plug and outlet, and she said she replaced the plug.


And the next 10+ posters figured out that she hadn't broken the tab
off between the switched outlet (for the disposal) and the unswitched
outlet (for the dishwasher). Can you give me an instance where
changing the plug would have made the disposal run all the time?
Nobody else could, which means we all figured out that the OP meant
that the duplex receptacle got changed.
