ac is broken

What do you check if the fan on the outside thing is doing nothing?

circuit breaker

And if that's ok, turn the AC & the circuit breaker off and check the fuse in the electrical box thing next to your heat pump.

Also, call somebody as soon as you determine that you're fucked and it's not coming back on.

throw hands in the air, run in circles screaming bloody murder

There are two black fuses in there but I dont know how to tell if they are blown.

check the continuity/resistance with a voltmeter

Yeah, or if there's any translucent part, look for a break in the wire in the thing. If you can't see anything at all you'll need to call a service tech. You probably need to do that anyway, though. Maybe the electric motor on your unit's fan died, lol.

if its a tube fuse most of the time the glass is clear look for a break or see if its fogged up like it had been on fire on the inside

if the fuses are black, you should keep your purse near you at all times.

but seriously, check the switch on the unit on the inside, check the circuit board and see if there are any diagnostic lights to indicate an issue
