Faulty Landing Gear

Hi Everyone.
I have a 2008 Rockwood Ultralight. The landing gear is from the Venture Mfg Co.
The motor on the landing gear is on the drivers side then of course the connecting rod goes to the passenger side.
When I put the landing gear down the passenger side works great but the drivers side with the motor on it starts to go down and then stops while the passenger side continues to work as it should.
I can push it down while it is going down and it starts working again and then stops again. This happen when I have it go up or down. Does anyone know what the problem may be. I am very mechanically inclined but it would sure help if I knew what is inside before I open the unit up. Don't want to open it up and have springs come flying out.
Thanks in advance

Worm gear is stripped , or the fixed nut that it screws up ,and down on is stripped ,or the drive gears at the top of the leg are missing a bunch of teeth, should be able to hear something if the drive gears were missing teeth .

Easy to work on , as been said take off the inspection plate on top, and look at the gears, that would be the first place to start, and if they look okay. you are going to have to get that side of trailer blocked up or hook to the truck, and remove the leg, and inspect the worm gear, and the nut. They are easy to take apart.
