The freezer in the whirlpool is working but the lower fridge compartment is not cooling. It is a 2 door unit, any ideas why this might be happening would be greatly apprecitated. Thank you

Here are your parts
Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL YET18TKXJW00 REFRIGERATOR | AppliancePartsPros.com

Check to see if the compressor is running. Should be warm and you should be able to feel it vibrating.
If yes
Remove the cover from the evaporator coils so you can inspect them.
Check that the evaporator fan is running.
Be sure the unit has been running a couple hours before doing this. In other words do not do it just after a defrost cycle.
If they are clogged solid with ice and frost you have defrost problem.
If they only have frost in one area, usually where the freon enters the coils you are low on freon and have a leak somewhere.
If no hint of frost or cooling you are either out of freon or the compressor is toast
