The following is an extract from "World Wide Worlds", that support the notion that "out of whack" means "out of order" or "broken":
There seems to have been a phrase "in fine whack" during that century, meaning that something was in good condition or excellent fettle. (It appears in a letter by John Hay, President Lincoln's amanuensis, dated August 1863, which describes the President: "The Tycoon is in fine whack. I have rarely seen him more serene and busy. He is managing this war, the draft, foreign relations, and planning a reconstruction of the Union, all at once".) It doesn't often turn up in writing, though, so there's some doubt how widespread it was.
To be out of whack would then have meant the opposite that something wasn't on top form or working well. It was first applied to people with ailments ('My back is out of whack'). In the early years of the twentieth century it started to refer to mechanisms. It might be that the sense was influenced by the idea that faulty mechanisms responded to a quick thwack.
