Best Answer

If your belt has never been replaced before, it probably broke because of age. As the rubber ages it gets brittle and is prone to breaking. You will see cracks in the ribs on the inside surface of it. If it is new, then there may be a sticky pulley that is causing the belt to slip over it and creating extra wear.
