Well its time to bite the bullet and learn how to drop the A/C unit to get
to the blocked drain tubes. There is a thin foam covering that breaks down
from age,heat etc...and it collects ,guess where , that's right ! In the
drain tubes. I had the very same scenario,with a waterfall coming down the
side of the closet and soaking everything. There is no effective way that I
have found to clear the tubes with the unit still in place. If you do not
get all of the broken down foam out then you will eventually have the same
problem.Good luck.
