Have you checked the battery that is powering the landing gear? Generally when the motor is running but you cannot get the landing gear to raise the gearbox is the issue but since you have replaced that the next step is to check your battery. Ensure it is both fully charged and has a secure ground connection.

If that doesn't work a lead leg repair kit may be a solution; we do not have any type of database about specific parts on years, makes and models of trailers so you will need to find out who the manufacturer of your landing gear is and if it is Lippert Powered Landing Gear you can use part # LC146059.
