I just tried plugging my microwave into the kitchen GFI outlet, and now the GFI outlet is tripping as soon as its plugged in.
Put a AC voltmeter on each leg and cheap loads like a light or maybe a ceramic heater(not real cheap but it can draw 10 amps).
You may/may not then observe the problem. If in fact it's a completely open neutral then it will be apparent. But an open neutral can be partially open or intermittent.
Your posts suggest you need to hire some help.
This is exactly one reason why I have a full power protector installed in my rig. If I encountered a pedestal or plug problem I'm protected. I have the PI HW 50C. Another big advantage is that it displays voltage and amps on the display inside the rig. Amps are very useful when on 20A or 30A pedestals.
