Belt Popping Off?
Very strange. My A/C belt broke, and I replaced it with another one. The one I replaced it with popped off, but is still fully intact. HUH?

Was it a new belt ? Lay the belt on a flat surface and see if there is a slight twist in it. If it looks good check all the pulleys for dents or bends in the groove.

also does it matter that its "cogged" rather than "standard"?

I just put it back on, and when i turned the air on, the belt flipped over. The part that would normally be touching the groove in the pulley was now facing out. I'm gonna try a new belt.....

Air conditioning is so over rated anyways. Toughen up and go without for a few days. Sounds like the heat wave we are having is here till the next week.
