Exactly my question since it sure sounds like that is the problem

I removed it, and reinstalled it.

Does the top rack have a sprayer above and another attached below it?
Check the seal at the back where the pipe on the rack meets the hole. Make
sure to push the top rack all the way back and don't rely on the door to
push it in.
Check the coverage - Place a glass upwards in the middle and corners of the
top rack and the bottom rack and check how they are filling just after the
start of the wash cycle. I assume if you open the door quickly the entire
washer is dripping with water all around the top?
If you still suspect the top rack sprayer then take out the rack and connect
a garden hose - you might find it sticks or there's some food in there or
something.
It might be just the way you're stacking your glasses and flatware - I
assume you have mostly glasses on top and not bowls encrusted with oatmeal
;-) ?

A little splash of white vinegar in the bottom of the unit before each
wash does wonders.

I had this problem on my high end Bosch--When I took the upper arm assembly
out to clean it, I discovered
a crack in the plastic flow tower all along one side seam. This is the
plastic piece that runs up the back of the
DW and carries water to the top spray arm/rack. Yeah, you'd think they could
use better plastic
in these $1000.+ things, eh? As it turns out, Bosch (or whomever makes Bosch
now) is making some of the Kenmore high end DWs
and they do have a model with the same plastic tower in it. Does this look
like your dishwasher?
