That is usually caused when one of the pulleys or components that it drive has a problem and leans to one side causing the belt to migrate off to the side of the pulley. Put the belt back on and then examine all the pulleys for one that is out of alignment or leaning a little.

You have to visually look for the pulley that isn't aligned with the rest.
