Couple questions:
Is it difficult to move when cold?
How long since the stove's been cleaned?
On the Empress, the damper is a shutter that's behind the left fireback, with a finger that sticks down into the damper lever. If it's difficult to move when cold, then it could be that the shutter is just tightened a bit too much. It may wear in with some use.
If the stove's not been cleaned in a while, you might have the shutter jamming because of the heat expanding it and it's sticking in the track.
Hope this helps.
