Be sure that there's no short circuit occur and the plug it really connected to the wall outlet. Otherwise a open circuit in the cord or heater will cause it, so you should check it with a analog tester.
When adding water, turn off the control to allow it to cool the heater. Sudden temperature change cause heating element to become defective.
Thanks for asking.

Yes.

It is probably the thermal fuse that has blown. This is mounted on the base of the iron and requires a near total strip of the appliance. It is mounted in series with the element and looks like a metal resistor, inside a fibre glass woven sleeve. Should the thermal fuse prove not to be the problem it could also be the element itself.

Check the plug and wire connected inside the iron wiring terminal. You need a multi-tester to do the continuity test of the wire. An open wire indicate a no connection, hence the iron will failed to heat.
So if you can do it, do it. But if you can't ask someone who has knowledge in appliance repair and has continuity tester.
Good luck.

Every now and then, its a good option to clean your iron with a candle. Just rub the wax on it, when its heating up, and clean with a soft cloth.
If its really stuck, there is another solution in adition to the wax:
Measure one cup of warm water, and pour it into a bowl. Add one-half cup of vinegar and two teaspoons of baking powder to the water. When the baking powder is dissolved into the liquids, soak a soft cloth into the mixture and clean your iron with circular motions.

Hi, you simply have a thermostat problem with the iron with i think is a factory fault since you said it is brand new. I will advise you not to tamper with it in any form, all you need do is return it to the point of purchase and request for another one instead of spending money to fix it.....

Hi!

I really hope someone can come up with an answer to your problem.

Personally, I have an iron, and a toaster, and a toaster oven with the old-fashioned dial where the degrees of heat are approximately displayed.
I had them for decades it seems, and I've never had to suffer any fallout from either ironing my shirts at plus or minus 5 degrees from the digitally recommended temperatures, nor from toast that was slightly darker one day and lighter the next.

I'm not a caveman, just in case you wonder. I do have a microwave oven with a dial timer as the only variable, and I must say on its behalf that it has served me without a hiccup the dozen times I used it to either warm my tea, or help defrost the odd TV dinner, which ended being cooked in the toaster oven.

In all seriousness however, needlessly digitally controlled appliances just because it's cheaper to manufacture them, don't score highly with me.

Furthermore, these electronic circuits appear to have a predetermined and highly predictable life expectancy, and oftentimes the appliances they control are cheaper to replace than to repair.

Hi first try to open the iron from where chord is going to the iron you will be able to find the screws.

Hi, Seems the heater element was damage and need replacement soon.
