My question is do these disconnect plugs go bad or perhaps it's the whole
box that is on the blink?




It looks like it is working correctly to me. When the word ON is
upright there is power out of the box. When you pull it out and turn it
so the OFF is upright, you will not have any power comming out of the
box.

The one in the picture is not upside down. The ON is upright and OFF is
upside down indicating power will come out of the box.

Well, the box must be bad then as removing the switch is the only to stop the
unit from running continuously.


That is not a switch. It is just a pull out disconnect. Flipping it
over so it says OFF NO is just where you store it when the power is
off.
