I question why you would want or need a gfi on a window unit.

Who knows what goes on in the mind that writes the codes. I would guess
that if it is a window unit, someone could be outside on the ground and if
there was a short of the hot wire to the case of the AC then if touched you
could get shocked.

Ya know what? That's exactly true. I recall some years back a woman
who had been swimming was electrocuted as she tried to enter her hotel
room. At first they kept mentioning that it had an electronic card
reader type lock, but further investigation found a short from the A/C
unit below the front window to the steel door frame.

I also have a window unit with a built in GFCI on the cord.
