Got an emergency work order for rack running warm this weekend. Found the culprit.

Walmart gives out a work order once a low refrigerant alarm has been active for more than 6 hours. I had visually checked the receiver level about a month ago at this store and it was normal. Then this weekend I got an emergency work order for the rack running warm. I don't work on weekends for ANY reason, so some poor schmuck had to go run the call. Turned out the rack was nearly empty. They didn't find the leak until Monday. It was a pretty good sized one too. I never got a low refrigerant alarm for it though which was weird. Went to snooping around since the contractors didn't look into it. I found one of the tabs straight up missing off of the coil for the low receiver alarm relay. This particular store had a notorious bad tech back in the day (walmart promoted him to a management position go figure). I think he put this dummy relay in a long time ago and forgot it. Im pretty sure this relay was broken intentionally since there was no tab left in the base.
