The device hates you.
Fucking AC units. If your cooling fan has not turned on then you likely have something wrong:
low refigerent
bad compressor
bad capacitor
-- just change the capacitor and find out !
And a savings tip for worst case scenario of total replacement:
Remove old parts/components but copper line yourself and save 1/2 on new install.

After doing a bit of reading I decided to replace the capacitor. Turns out the unit was using this industrial grade dual capacitor for the compressor(? I think) and the fan motor. After looking at the new one, it was pretty obvious the capacitor was bad cos the mushrooming of the can.
Big thanks to the goats who responded! It was might white of y'all to help me find the correct path
