Window units (also in homes) need to tilt to the outside so that they drain outside. It should drain outside if the drain is not clogged, the unit is tipped to the outside, and the condensate pan is not cracked or leaking. I'll bet you can fix it. Good luck!
Newer window unit do not have a drain. They use the fan to sling water on the condenser coils for increased efficiency.
Which is part of the problem. If there is too much water and the slant is not right the water can not be "Slung" out fast enough.
I've had ones where I had to remove the cover from the AC and then drill a small hole in the back of the cover. Near the bottom, so that if the water level becomes to full it will drip out.
