ECN Forum Forums Code Related Discussion NEC & other Code issues Grounding a non grounded receptacle

Thanks for the info. I'm about to add a dishwasher to this old home. The dishwasher has no plug but is a hardwire type. Can I replace the old non-grounded receptacle near the dishwasher opening with a GFCI, and then wire out from the GFCI to a junction box and then to the dishwasher?
