You would probably spend as much to repair it as you would to replace it not to mention your time.

If it's 134a or a common refrigerant you can get it fixed. Though a lot use crazy less common refrigerant not seem in cars or houses so techs don't carry it.
Leaks are really hard to fix in window units. Really only two things easy to fix the start relay or the fan. If compressor and fan are running and it's not getting cool. Throw it away.
If the fan isn't running or the compressor isn't coming on. Those are easier. But it won't be cheap. Likely looking at $3-400 on either because so few work on these so they charge whatever and it could be more of they have to uninstall it to fix it. (Though usually the larger ones slide out the shell to access) and if it's a smaller 115v volt you'll pay more in repair than a new one.

How big is this thing? You seem to have gotten some good advice already.
Any reason why you won’t follow it?

start calling hvac and appliance repair places and see if you can find someone. This is not Angie’s list…if nobody has a suggestion it means that people don’t usually call a repairman for them. It’s either fixable yourself or it’s toast

I had two go out recently. No repair guy will touch it. Just their labor costs will be more than the cost of a new unit. I couldn't even find parts for the GE that went out. The local appliance parts store told me the same thing. Replacement parts are not available and to just buy a new one.
