yes I agree that you should not have layed it down , please wait for 48 hrs now to run it again with unit in upright position next id go over unit and look all all hose's seems a bit of mold builds up inside of these very often , Wight id always say to give it a little spritz of bleach water every 30-60 days or so to clean it out and keep your pipes flowing freely one of those little bottles of compressed air for computer cleaning goes 4 miles to cleaning out little holes and such on these things
