Air conditioner pull-out disconnect handle?

Moved into a house, and the a/c will not run. Looks like the previous owners took out the pull-out handle from inside the box attached to the a/c unit. Where can I get a new handle? Or do I have to buy and install a new box?

    see if there is a model number on it or take a picture of it, then go to home depot, they have a selection, see if you can match it up, if not they are cheap to replace, MAKE SURE YOU TURN OFF THE POWER, I left the box on the wall bought a new one and took the guts out and put in the old box. I bought a foreclosure and was in the same predicament.(or go steal the neighbors) no don't do that but at least you could borrow to see if your ac is working.

    Did you buy this house? or are you renting? If you own it go back on to the sellers and have them pay for it, if your renting call your land lord and let him make the call on what to do, I really did`nt understand your question as goes as a handle? but has it got to do with the wiring, did you check the breaker box? they might have hooked in to a control Panel, somewhere on the box, but call for help if you don`t know a lot about Electric problems, Hey! good luck and God bless.

    Take the name of the box to the hardware store and see if they can match it. Good luck.
