Default Surge brakes not disengaging properly? Load-rite Five star.

It's a 2 year old load-rite Five star trailer with 4 wheel disk brakes and the Tiedown actuator/coupler. After trailering for a few miles to my destination all 4 wheels were so hot you could smell them burning and you could not touch the rim or hub.

I jacked up the trailer and could not turn the wheels. I was able to release brakes with screw driver by pushing the actuator forward.

I hooked it back up to truck and went around the block and same thing happened. If I backed up a few feet and hit the brakes that would release the trailer brakes.

I spoke to a load-rite guy and a trailer repair shop. One guy is leaning toward the actuator and the other the calipers.

Just wondering if anyone had a this issue and what was the fix?

This is the actuator I have...Tiedown actuator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdjDZ02u5rY
