David,

Let's start all over again,

I don't think you have a problem. You should not have to cut the rack.

The detergent cup door does not open completely during the cycle. So it is normal to hear the door "pop" noise when you open the door and remove the dishes. As long as there is no detergent left in the cup, you're all right.

The theory/operation,
The cup lid latch is released, the door opens and hits the dishwasher rack tine and is held there at a 80 or 90 degree angle, the water being sprayed from the lower wash arm, splashes on the inside of the lid and washes the detergent from the cup.

I'm pretty sure, this will help you out.

:) :) :)

I tried that. Same thing. Looks like I am going to have to cut a slot in the rack.

David,

Try this,

Remove he lower rack, turn it around 180 dgrs. and put it back in.

Probably,
Someone removed it, and put it back in backwards.
