The auto setting at the top of the dry times for timed drying only illuminates when a sensor cycle is being used. It just lets the user know that its in an Auto dry cycle...which I use every time. I have been using the Normal Cycle with Normal Temp and Normal dryness with great results. The clothes are not overdried at all. I find that the dryer tends to keep a very tight temperature range and cycles the burner on and off frequently to maintain said temps in the drum.
The washer does recirculate the water in each segment of a cycle like wash and the rinses. It also has a place in the dispenser drawer for detergent pods. I bought Tide Pods some time ago and used them in the LG washer and I would always find some part of the pod in an item in the wash. I dont notice it until the load is dried and i find the wadded up remnants on an item , so I gave up on them. The Electrolux washer dissolves the pods, and there is a limit of 2 per load and it says so right on the slot for them. The pods further dissolve in the sump area before being jetted onto the load in the wash cycle. I bought these machines after watching the YouTube videos that Kirk Rivas posted about them and I have to say I was very impressed by the washer's performance.
One thing though is that liquid fabric softener is a must for the final rinse to kill any suds that survive the rinsing process. And rinsing is thorough I find even though there is just one spin after the wash cycle. The rinsing involves a water level that comes up to the glass of the door. It then moves the load thru the water, drains it completely then refills. In the final rinse it will do the same but, partially drains the water, then refills back to the level, tumbles the load thru the water , then drains the water. Going into spin is in steps, but once the load is balanced this washer doesn't pussyfoot around and gets right up to high spin. One the cycle is done, the door unlocks right away and a signal is given and the light in the drum comes on...a nice tough I might add. The dryer does the same at the end of a cycle.
