A quick look suggests a door switch might be the problem.

Likely a wire inside the unit has worn thru and is shorting. Or a piece of metal has fallen across some internal connection. You need someone experienced in troubleshooting electric appliances to open unit and investigate. Or just replace it.

For safety reasons there are 3 (or 4?) door switches on microwaves, to
be sure to turn off the radiation when you open the door, so I suppose
it could be any one of them. Important not to open the microwave cage
because if don't put it together again right that will leak radiation,
but these switches shouldn'tbe anywhere near the microwave cage. You
can take th cover off the whole box and look for the switches.

Something wrong with the powere iput of the microwave if it blows
the house fuse without blowing the internal pretection fuse and almost
100% NOT a soor switch problem. I would suspect the EMI protection
(noise filter) device where the power cord enters the case. It is the
only part NOT protected by the in case fuse according to the wiring
fiagram and a LOT of experience with microwave ovens from many
different suppliers.

That "amana" appears to be proiduced by electrolux?
