Becky, from what you described, the AC unit has a buildup of water in the drip pan. This can be caused by 2 things. The drain hole near the rear of the unit is clogged and/or the rear of the unit is not tilted down enough. The general rule of thumb is 1/4" to 1/2" rear downward tilt. This allows the water to flow to the rear of the drip pan where the drain hole is.
Finding the drain hole can be a challenge at times. Because the clog can blend in with the drain hole.
But, patience and persistence will pay off. A pipe cleaner works well to clear the drain hole. nd, don't forget about the downward tilt.
I hope this helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.
