If you put the jack "all the way" up or "all the way down" it will stall the motor and blow the fuse every time. Just don't run the jack to either limit and you should be ok. Put a line on the jack stand with a sharpie above the limit so you can tell how far up it is.

You might want to check the jack mechanism (the long threaded rod that runs across the frame rails). On our trailer, they get dirty from the crud that is kicked up off the road by the tires. On my trailer, they will start to bind and do not work smoothly occasionally. So far, cleaning and lubrication have made them operate like new.

I replaced my landing gear fuse with an auto-reset fuse.
No problems any more.

Lippert put out a bulletin that makes the replacement of the fuse with a resettable type an "approved" modification.
