Air Condtioner problem?

My air conditioner is a small 5000 btu Everstar it is in new condition

stops cooling as good. It sits in the window very level. When I turn it
off it sounds like it's water logged. I thought A/C 's were supposed to
sit at a slight backward angle? but this sits very level and does not
seem to drain (drip) like most A/C's. I do not see any water dripping
out. As the fan is turning it kicks water through the side air vents.
If I try and tilt the A/C back it will not fit into the window properly.
(it has slide cutains and screws to the open window frame) If I tilt it
back the will not have anything to hold on to? Is the tilt the problem
or something else? It seems to be designed to sit like it is. Any
suggestions? Thank You -William (from Carolina Beach NC) *

Your AC unit gains efficiency as you probably know, by forcing cool
condensate through the evaporator. If the evap unit on the back is
clogged, then the symptoms you noted will occur. The fan driving the
air/condensate might also be having a problem so check that it is up
to speed and turning freely. HTH

The hot coil on the back is called a condensor. The indoor cold coil is an
evaporator.

Oops, my mistake. The unit in the back is the condenser, coils in
front are where evaporation for cooling takes place. Sorry.
