I know what the problem is vs I know what's the problem

The correct choice is 'I know what the problem is.' The structure 'what the problem is' is correct in a statement. The use of 'what's the problem' is incorrect because 'what's' is a contraction of 'what is' and should not be followed by 'the problem' in a statement.
