Since you can use the hand crank to use the landing gear, we know it isn't a problem with the legs, which means it is either the gear box or motor. What you can do is disconnect the motor from the gear box and power it on to see if there are any issues. If not, then it is highly likely it is just the gear box, which you can replace:

- Replacement Aluminum Gearbox # LG-179015

Otherwise, if it is the motor you will need to replace that with the Replacement Motor for Stromberg Carlson Electric Landing Gear # LG-142178.

I have added some links below to video reviews for you to check out as well if you'd like to take a look.
