I only have that plugged in, so I know it isn't the circuit. When I unplug the compressor, the light and fans work. Is the compressor bad, or could it be something else?

The current it takes to initally start the compressor draws too much current. I run it on a different circuit for lighting w/o GFI protection and it works fine. May want to try a different circuit with proper breaker amperage for the appliance you wish to run. Hope it helps. Lee
