This could be for various reasons. Check the power cord and try a different outlet first. See if the power cord is loose or damaged. Next check the brushroll and belt that those are in working order. If you smelt burning or electrical fire or your vacuum made an odd noise before stopping it may be the motor going bad. If your power cord is good and the brushroll and belt good, it is probably your motor going bad.

There are a couple of tricks. One is to put the belt on the shaft first and them roll it onto the brush roller. The other way which I did in my hotel (I had 3 of them) is to pull the brush out, put the belt on the spindle shaft, then onto the roller, the you can stretch the belt with it already in place and lower the roller into place.
The belts are stiff.
If the plastic blue clip on your Oreck Magnesium vacuum cleaner has broken, you will need to replace it to keep the bag securely attached to the vacuum. Here are the steps to replace the clip:
Locate the broken clip. It is usually located on the underside of the vacuum, near the bag opening.
Remove the broken clip by gently prying it off with a flat-head screwdriver or a similar tool. Be careful not to damage the surrounding area.
Obtain a replacement clip. You may be able to purchase a replacement clip from an Oreck dealer or online retailer.
Attach the replacement clip to the vacuum. The clip should snap into place and hold the bag securely.
Test the clip to make sure it is properly attached and holding the bag securely.
If you removed the bottom of your vacuum, then it's quite possible that the squeegee was not installed properly. On the side of the squeegee that faces up (to the operator) there is a groove that snaps over the baseplate. If the groove isn't snapped ove the baseplate, the vacuum is extremely hard to push (don't ask me how I know and I won't have to lie).
That is the right place and the charge light is on. The thing that you dont know is how old are the batteries that are in it. The light shows that there is current going into the unit. It does not show if the batteries are taking a charge and holding it. If the batteries are old it can take days to wake them up. Sometimes they dont ever recover and need to be replaced.
If you are referring to the handle with the bag on it, the repair is a simple one, You will need a Phillips screwdriver. The motor part of the vacuum has a ball-shaped clamp. Simply insert the handle as far as it can go into the clamp and screw the screw tight. To prevent this from happening again, you may want to buy some thread lock and squirt a drop on the threads of the screw first and then tighten.
Was the CR2032 battery replaced? It is an easy fix. The one in this video obviously had an internal short as it had between zero and 0.19 volts but all devices have a threshold that they won't work below. He explains at the end other parts that can make this model fail. He also says about counterfeit batteries and I have come across that..

I have an Oreck vacuum. My son used it just earlier today and it worked just fine, then just a little while ago a tried to turn it on to vacuum our bedroom and suddenly it won't turn on! I tried plugging it into other outlets but it was no use. My husband takes a look at it and first thinks that the switch is out in it. He takes the handle apart and quickly realizes that it is not the switch that is causing the problem. Then he took the base of the vacuum apart, removes the spin brush part and cleans it off, puts it back together, and suddenly it works! He said that when those brushes get real dirty the motor gets clogged, then it just won't turn on. I'm just happy I married someone who can figure these things out, because even if I knew the problem I'm still no good with a screwdriver, taking things apart and putting them back together again. Hope this works for your Oreck too and it's running again for you soon.

With the growth of technology, vacuum cleaners' importance to keep your beloved home clean is endless. A machine can be disabled. But there is a solution. Following a few simple steps will help you to repair a damaged vacuum cleaner at home. So, Let's discuss Vacuum Cleaner Repair.
If your vacuum can't work like before, then you've come to the right place. Not all device modules are the same. But the basics are the same. We will look at a couple of methods that may not directly harmonize your machine. However, the ways are the same that you can apply yourself.
Amy, not sure from your description whether the outer part is what came off or the smaller, inner part came off. If it is the outer part, all you need to do is squeeze the two prongs of the inner part of the bag holder together and slip the two pegs into the holes on the outer part of the holder. If the inner part came off then you have to spread it, so that it will go over the opening on the handle, and then follow the directions I gave to install the outer part. Hope this helps.
Most wall powered vacuum cleaners have an internal safety switch that turns off the power to the motor when it gets too hot due to airflow restriction, to protect the motor (and to prevent any potential fires)
Have you checked that the filter is clean and not clogged up? Is the dust canister also reasonably empty or at least not full to overflowing
