Hal,
There are several things that can go wrong and I think that the bearing issue is way down at the bottom of the list.
The motor brushes can wear out.
The motor box can get flooded with water
The circuit card in the motor box can corrode.
The power cable can corrode itself right on to the motor box pins.
I suspect there are many other things that can go wrong that I am not familiar with.
Personally, I see no reason to plan for a failure that might not happen and if it does, then open the box and see what has failed.
Thanks,
Jim R.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply.
I know you are correct. And yet ....

I understand Hal3. My bot is starting its 6th season and I have grown a strong attachment to it. The only thing I have replaced so far is a new set of pleated filters. I pull it out of the water after each run, clean the filters, rinse/dry the unit and cable then always store it in the shed. I keep the controller out of the weather and stored inside too. I do check the impeller for debris but have never opened the motor box. Best pool tool ever, my opinion.
