Most thermostats operate this way.
Instead of dropping the voltage a thermostat opens the circuit when the set temperature is reached, after which it closes again to redo the cycle again. The principle can be based on heat, time or pressure.
The animation, if the GIF runs, shows the basic principle for a thermostat switch in a heater/geyser, but can be modified to operate via a pressure diaphragm as used in ovens and fridge compressor relays. Strip heats/opens then closes.
Try plugging the hole in the wall where the wire comes through. Also be sure you are not trying to reach your humidity set point therefore overshooting your cooling setpoint. Referred to "droop" in settings
Do have AC? if you do you have to by a thermostat that can handle both heating and cooling, if you only have 3 terminals it must be a heat only thermostat.
