Is the belt tight enough? Also, make sure the pulleys are not glazed. If they are, you will need to try to clean them with a strong cleaner (degreaser) to see if that helps. If you replace the belt, chances are it needs to be a little tighter and double check the routing to make sure it is correctly installed.
