2003 25' Safari Microwave Circuit

My Samsung Microwave is not working. Removed Microwave. No power to wall plug. Manual says the microwave circuit has a 20 Amp Fuse. It is shown as circuit #3. The problem: The electric panel is on the bottom of the front wall under the sofa bed. Horrible to access. I'm 70 years old. But somehow got under the sofa on my back but see no 20 Amp circuit. I see an 7.5 Amp fuse and 5 Amp fuse (flat square ones) and a 1 Amp round one. Am I missing something. I am hoping that the problem is just a blown fuse but where is it? Maybe I am missing it (laying on my back looking up at sofa bottom unable to move my arms holding a flashlight trying to twist my neck to see the electrical panel --who decided to put that panel there?). I'm going to look to see if the wall plug burned out (that would be the easy fix) but still would like to know where that 20 Amp fuse lip is.

There should be a 20 amp circuit breaker like a household panel might have. What you found is the 12 volt fuse panel.

There should be a panel or cover hiding the 110 volt AC power panel. The breaker should be in there.

Understand the 70-year-old challenges. I hit that mark later this year, and crawling under things is no fun already[emoji854][emoji854]

Look for a metal panel about 12" x12" with louvers or a screened vent. The panel also has your battery charger in it and it breathes air for cooling. Usually mounted low in a cabinet.

Mine is gray, and mounted in a box that is part of my dinette bench.

Cover should come off to expose breakers and another fuse panel.
