I have a 1997 ford explorer and the serpentine belt fell off while the truck was running. The belt did not break so what could be the problem?

First, make sure the belt tensionier is working properly. Also, check to make sure the pullies are ligned up and that none are frozen in place.

Let me know what you find.
