Hi,
Those types of problems are usually one of two things... the cord where is enters the iron, the wires are broken. Or the thermostat has gone bad...
The iron will need to be taken apart and the wiring checked witha meter to find the problem for sure...

It is my first time using it, I brought it from USA and it is not working at all!!

follow this steps and fix it. God bless you
If the iron doesn't heat, make sure power is on to the outlet, check the electric cord and check the thermostat .
If the iron heats but steams improperly, inspect the soleplate and clean the vents (see below) and flush sediment out of the steam chamber (see below).
If the iron produces too much or too little heat, test the electrical cord . Also test and, if needed, adjust calibration of the thermostat

If the iron does not spray properly, inspect and clean the nozzle
If the iron leaks or spits, clean the steam vents, nozzle, and tank.
If the iron sticks to fabric, clean or repair the soleplate. If the iron stains fabric, clean the soleplate, clean the tank with a commercial cleaner, and use distilled or filtered water.

2 year old iron lost power while ironing. Plugged it in to other working outlets. Light remains off.

It has defective parts, either the wire is open or the heating element also a defective plug cord.
It can be check by a continuity tester, if you have and knows how to use it.
If not, call or ask who has knowledge in appliance or electrical repair for assistance.
Thanks for asking.
