Propane detectors will beep if batteries are low as a warning.
If it is the brown detctor, if it is still working, can take several minutes to warm up and send power to the solonoid. Light should be steady green and no beeping when at this stage.

If it is the original detector, it should have been replaced ten years ago. they have a seven year life span.
If you find the problem is the detector or valve, replace them as a unit don't mix and match.
You can disconnect the hose at the regulator and solonoid to check for gas flow
from each component until you find out where it stops flowing to make it easier
to check.
Check any connections with soapy water when finished to make sure there are no leaks.
