If it doesn't have any fancy electronic controls and just the basic
t-stat I'd try it in 24 hours. Maybe point a small heater at it in the
rear facing the compressor area.

I'd at least use a meter to take an ohm reading between the hot wire
of the plug and the metal casing first

You may be surprised at how poorly rain water conducts electricity,
besides, that's why the metal is grounded. A few micro amps to ground,
no problem. Or to be really safe, plug it into a GFCI outlet.
