I think there is a notch on the outside of the fan chamber that clicks into the base to keep the cleaner upright. It's like a large rib. You can hear it click when you put the machine in an upright position. I would remove the fan chamber and inspect it for any damage.
To my surprise, I can not find an exact match outer bag for your model! Do you have an Oreck Store near by? They could have some NOS to help you out. |

You might give GoodVac a try. They have the bag docking system and they have quite a few outer bags not sure though if they have the exact one. I will provide a link to their site. CLICK HERE TO GO TO daknx1994's LINK |

Having serviced many Orecks, I know there's a plastic protrusion from the bottom of the fan chamber, which "clicks" into place when it slides up a metal ramp on the bottom plate of the cleaner. You'd also want to inspect the fan Chamber itself for damages, I see this all the time on Orecks. Be sure that metal ramp is not missing, (I cannot tell, for the bottom plate pictured above is upside-down). I'd doubt the plastic protrusion has worn out, Unless someone has been using this vacuum for the past 50 Billion Years
