Have you checked all fuses? Are you getting 12V to the inverter?
BTW AC equipment can draw a lot of DC amps through an inverter. A 300W refer would draw about 26A. A microwave could draw 5 times as many amps. Likely more than your alternator can supply. Those kind of draws are very large and stressful on the equipment even for limited amounts of time.
