Might it have something to do with the single white conductor in the bottom of the disconnect?

Can you explain the entire setup? Is the panel downstream of this disconnect?

100 amp panel does not Matter this looks like 60 amp fuses.
The weakest link tells the size of the service so if they are 60 amp fuses it is a 60 amp service . ... Roy Need help on inspection call my cell 613-827-2011 I like email Roycooke@hotmail.com Never wrestle with a pig (however titled) as you just get dirty and the pig has all the fun. |

Looks like it might be 100A panel with #4 Cu wires, but 60A fuses ... maybe even a 60A rated disconnect. Would be a 60A service ... but it looks like there is an elec range, and my guess would be an elec dryer also. Would have to do a load calc with actual house size and appliances to see if the 60A would be undersized. And agreed, need better pics
