Here are your parts
Replacement parts for Whirlpool KSRS27ILBL03 REFRIGERATOR | AppliancePartsPros.com

See the attachment for the tech sheet

Remove the cover inside the freezer so you can inspect the evaporator coils.
Confirm that the evaporator/freezer fan is running.

If the coils are heavily iced/frosted over you have a defrost problem.
First remove the evaporator cover in the freezer so you can see the coils.
Do not let them de-ice.

Manually force a defrost cycle, see the tech sheet when the fans and compressor turn off you are in a defrost cycle..

Now check the defrost heater to see if it is on.
Be careful you do not want to burn your fingers.
If the heater is on then the control board needs replacing.

If not on.
Unplug the unit.
Remove the wire for one side of the heating element from the wiring and measure it for continuity, usually around 20 ohms or so.

If the heater is OK
Remove one wire to the defrost thermostat and measure it, should be 0 ohms when frozen. Note that it opens just above freezing so must be frozen to check it. Also inspect it, if it is bulged at all replace it even if it measures OK.

ok even if the defrost problem is solved what is going to make cold air go into the fridge part where vegies and stuff are warm?thanks

A defrost problem will also stop proper air flow inthe unit so fix that first.
