OK, the complete device is called a furnace/coil/condensing unit. As others
have stated, the coil (sitting atop the furnace) dehumidifies the air and
deposits the water in a drain pan (part of the coil assembly.) This collects
any
dust and crud that your furnace filter doesn't catch, turning it into a
sort of mud that eventually stops up the tubing coming from the drain pan.
What
needs to be done? Disassembly of the drain pipe and
cleaning out the mud (you might be able to use a coat hanger, followed by
flushing it out with clear water, then, reassembly.)
