What happens is it will overflow into the pan, but often there's a bit of

insulation in the pan, and so it floats on the water and will then clog the secondary overflow line leading out of the pan. So the pan will overflow.

Should have a float switch in the pan so it shuts the system off if water rises in the pan.
