Fanticipator, a free Windows app from K8UT, also has some helpful
capabilities in this regard.

Hello Fred,
I use the programmable function keys for this:
PF1= ^fc2;
PF2= ^fc0;
Fan speed 2 is usually enough to keep the heatsink temp below 70C.

Subject: [Elecraft] Suggested Enhancement for KPA-1500
I have a KPA-1500 amp in our station, and I use it on a daily basis in a remote
configuration to operate our station. Fan noise is not an issue here because we
are not in the same location as the amplifier. Further, we do mostly digital
modes (MSK144, FT8, Q65, etc.) which are high duty cycle. I mostly use the
remote app to force the fan speed to a higher level than the factory fan curve
to help keep the amp cool. It would be nice if the KPA-1500 FW had a few fan
profiles to choose from to help keep the amp cool when running high duty cycle
modes. This way, operators such as myself who do a lot of high-duty cycle modes
could keep their KPA-1500’s cooler and extend the life of the amplifier.
Best and 73,
