So did my hard reset advice fix it?
SOURCE: My GE Profile Microwave/Convection Oven stopped working.
Chances are that the thermostat / thermal cutout / T.C.O. (whichever it uses) has opened.
This can happen when the magnetron overheats, either due to it's failing, or if the internal cooling fan is not working.
It may also that be the 15- or 20A ceramic line fuse or the oven cavity thermostat / thermal cutout / T.C.O. (whichever it uses) has opened.
There
should also be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the
control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is
very
helpful
when troubleshooting & testing.
At
our Web site, we have a video
available showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.
You can find
helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full
model number from the tag on the oven here.
You should be able to
get the fuse from a home center or local appliance parts store.
Accessing some components for testing and possible replacement will require you to remove the oven from the wall.
If
so, the installation instructions are very handy, and it's best to have
two people since the microwave can be heavy and awkward.

owner's manuals and installation instructions here.

SOURCE: my microwave oven keeps tripping the circuit
If a fuse inside had blown, that would definitely reduce the current flow rather than trip the breaker.
I have replaced several breakers over the years; they no longer last forever.
Try your Amana on a different circuit, not in the kitchen; if that other circuit likes the oven, the breaker is bad.
If the alternate circuit breaker also trips, then you have not a blown fuse in the Amana but rather a shorted component inside and repairing the oven will likely cost about the same as replacing it.

I have the same problem
any hints to solve it.
It's a 1988 vintage oven/microwave so I can't complain but it 's a pain if
I have to replace the unit

Chances are you have a shorted "monitor" interlock switch, or its mount is broken.
See this
door switch help file.
You can find links to helpful exploded view diagrams and part ordering help here.
To give you more specific help, we would need the brand name and
full model
number of your microwave.
