I'm a little confused about the electric code here. Someone removed the dishwasher to do some work. I want to reinstall it but the source wire is ungrounded (whole house uses ungrounded wiring). I'm not sure if the dishwasher was wired ungrounded originally. I saw nearby a wire that was wrapped around a nearby copper pipe, so I don't know if it might have been connected to that.
My thought was to go to where the copper pipe enters the house (crawlspace) through the dirt and bond a ground wire to it. Actually I've already done that, but I've tried to interpret the code and it sounds like that ground wire also has to be bonded to any grounding leads connected to a grounding rod the house might be using.
What's the correct thing to do here?
