I also went through the equipment Manuel’s that the former owner included in the sale, but there’s no information on the microwave.
Do any of you have troubleshooting recommendations?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Microwaves require 120 volts to operate. Air conditioning, if you have it also requires 120 volts. Most if not all the other appliances in a trailer operate on 12 volts. So for the microwave to work, you need to be plugged into shore power or you need an inverter and transfer switch. The inverter, at least on Escapes is turned on/off by a button. If your plugged into shore power and the microwave doesn't work then maybe your 120 volt plugs aren't working. One of you plugs, possibly one outside, is a GFCI plug that may have tripped which could disable the interior plugs. Another option is to remove the microwave and take it into your house and test it. Basically a process of eliminating possible faults. Good luck.
