Our single motor legs uses a 30A.

Thanx for the response.

I tried a 30 amp...same result.
The motor has always seemed slow and weak.
I thought it being quiet was because it was new.

Be advised I'm not just operating the jack motor into a jam due to inexperience.
The jacks were being retracted last week hit the up stop and pop goes the fuse.
Now the fuse blows at the slightest bump of the stop.
The motor seems to have a hard time when raising the unit above say about a third of the total extension.

I think the motor is defective.
Trailer goes in this week for a slide seal anyway.
The garage can have a look.
