1996 KitchenAid Microwave Model# KHMS105ESB-0 shuts off periodically

You either have an intermittent or defective door switch, or the latch assembly is not activating the switches properly.

This is a youtube video. It's confusing because it was recorded in reverse order. However it should give you an idea as how to replace the lamp.

I cannot determine from your description what part it is you exactly need.
This is a link to Sears Parts and you make and model
Look through the diagrams.
As for price and delivery... that's up to Sears
Good luck!

How can you take the fuse out on this model KHMS 155LSS-4 of kitchenaid

It sounds like the high voltage capacitor.

You first need to be sure the unit is unplugged from the wall.

Assuming the HV cap is shorted, there wouldn't be any need to discharge it (*grin*) but it's good practice. Once you do that, you can remove the leads and ohm it out. That will tell the tale.

If that's not it, then it may be a bad high voltage transformer. *
