The FRA054XT7 is a long-running small window unit that parts suppliers still list under several revision numbers. Older mechanical-control units like this tend to fail in simple ways: a fan motor that seizes, a thermostat that no longer cycles, or a start capacitor that weakens.
Rust in the base pan is common after years of condensate sitting in the unit. A technician can advise whether the chassis is still sound enough to justify repair. Capacitors and wiring should never be handled by owners.
