Default kitchen electrical questions

Existing under sink 4-plex receptical (not sure its on one or two circuits,
well check later) serves:

Garbage disposer
Dish washer
Hot water dispenser

On a kitchen remodel what electrical outlet need to be dedicated?

Garbadge disposer?
Dish washer?
Trash compactor?
Hot water dispenser?
Refrigerator?

The existing above counter receptacles is on one GFI circuit, does the new
NEC code require it be on two dedicated circuits?

In removing the electrical double oven, I found the ground and neutral from
the oven were connected together to the feeder neutral. The existing feeder
is 3 black wires (2 hot, 1 neutral) plus a bare ground. Does it seem odd
that the ground wire from this service was cut back at the junction box and
both appliance ground and neutral were tied to feeder neutral? The main
circuit breaker panel is grounded so there is no reason not the use the
feeder ground, right?

Your oven was wired correctly and as you described the current code would
require separating the neutral and the ground
Your counter outlet doesn't need two circuits, however your counter
outlet(s) require at least two 20 amp circuits
Your list of under counter stuff, depends on the amperage of the circuits
and the amperage required by the device.

After you make sure it was wired correctly at the breaker box, there is no
reason not to use the ground. You are lucky the electrician anticipated the
new code. Mine is just 3wire.

None of the above.

Yes.

the oven were connected together to the feeder neutral.


That's a Code violation. They're required to be separate.

The existing feeder
is 3 black wires (2 hot, 1 neutral) plus a bare ground.


That's a Code violation, too... the neutral wire is supposed to be white or
gray.

Does it seem odd
that the ground wire from this service was cut back at the junction box and
both appliance ground and neutral were tied to feeder neutral? The main
circuit breaker panel is grounded so there is no reason not the use the
feeder ground, right?


Correct on all counts.
